putting up the christmas tree...

Jens bought us a new Christmas tree this year. Pre-lit, yeah! We've had his grandmas tree almost our whole married life...it was dirty and smelly and disgusting. I couldn't bear the thought of having to put it up again this year. Don't get me wrong, it's been a good little tree and we've loved it, but it's just time!
Jens actually woke up on Friday morning and went shopping. He got a $180 tree for $50. He got back home when I was still sleeping, so, when I woke up and saw him in bed I thought he had given up on the shopping idea....then, I walked downstairs and saw the tree in our living room. It felt like Christmas morning. It was so fun!
Don't I have a sweet husband. Especially, if you know Jens, he HATES shopping!!!
The kids have been waiting all weekend to decorate it. I think I'll have to go back a rearrange a few ornaments. Eryn Jane put them all around the bottom.
