Today, I took Jackson to get our Christmas tree! It is one of our Christmas traditions to get the tree every year on December 1 and this year is special because it is our first Christmas in our new home!! I had planned on taking him to Motley's Christmas Tree Farm and cutting the tree ourselves, so that is where we went first. We got there and I let Jack play with the chickens and feed the animals and swing and he even had a little friend to play with for a while. Then we went to look for a tree. Because our ceilings are so high, I wanted to get at least an 8' tree but they were $220!!! HOLY MOLY! Needless to say, we left without a tree.
For the past few years, we have gotten our trees at Lowe's, so Jack and I went to eat at Chik fil A on McCain and then went to the Lowe's next door. We left with a $40 9' tree tied to the top of the car! Unfortunately, it was not tied very well because, as we turned into the subdivision, the tree turned sideways!! We got some very strange looks from the neighbors, haha.
I dragged that big thing in and Jack and I decorated it while listening to Christmas music and we had a good time but Jack seemed to not feel very well. Today marked 17 days in a row that he has been sick with what the doctor said was a cold and I am taking him for a check-up tomorrow. :(
