picture perfect

Not Our TreeWent out with the kids and Bridget Monday evening to get our holiday tree. We found one at the Alspaugh tree farm. After walking around in the cold for 1/2 an hour or so we settled on one which was 8 feet tall and not to bushy. A very nice one actually. The kids kept picking out 10 foot trees which would have to lay on their side in our living room. (there's an idea, a tree lying in state) No one wanted a small one except me. Cut it down, took it home, moved out some chairs, set it up and decorated it while sipping hot spiced cider (laced with whiskey for Dad). 'Course there was the small problem that I dallied at the grocery store which set Bridget on edge because her noodles were getting soggy in the soup she had made for dinner. If there is one thing she can't stand that is people to be late for dinner. (ok 2 things: people late for dinner and soggy noodles).
