In other exciting news, we picked out and purchased our Christmas tree this afternoon (and a new stand) with minimal drama...only one slight snafu. I was standing right in front of the tree we'd picked out waiting for Dan to bring the Christmas tree helper man back to cut it for us. Around that time, a woman came up and said it was her tree. Um, pretty sure I am standing here and you were not, lady. There was a short but heated discussion between the woman and the Christmas tree helper person (He was on our side: "Well lady, you weren't standing here and she was."), but in the end we gave up because we are Christmas cheer spreaders, not grinches. Who steals a Christmas tree from a pregnant woman?! Anyway, we picked a different, even more awesome tree, and because the people at the Christmas tree farm felt bad that the Christmas tree nazi lady was so rude, they gave it to us for $40 instead of $55 as marked! Double score. $40 for a 10 foot tree? We'll take it.

Now all we need is for the branches to fall... |
With the weather being a little cooler this week, it's gotten me really excited about decorating, so we're going to do that tomorrow. Since we're in the new house now, I've gotten permission to get a few additional Christmas staples that we never needed before now: a Christmas card holder, some stocking holders, some wreaths to put on our front windows, and some garland for the fireplace. Wahoo! Earlier in the day I was exhausted by the thought of decorating because I knew it meant cleaning, too...until Dan came home with the surprise that the cleaning people are coming next week. It has been an all around good day, friends.
So, on this weekend's agenda? Christmas decorating, my work Christmas party tomorrow night, and church on Sunday followed by "uninterrupted football watching" (Dan's words). Oh, and discussing the nursery and making some decisions. Pray for us. Hope your weekend is great, too!
