The holiday spirit has hit the Gleason household!

OK...so we weren't going to get a tree this year as we will be spending Christmas with GiGi and PopPop this year. We decided to hit the tree farm to take some family photos. We got there a little later than planned as Bix took a really long nap, so the light was disappearing on us...but we got a few good pics and as we were walking to get some hot cider, we saw this scraggly looking tree for $18. Now...as a side note, when you are at the tree farm, trees look smaller than they really are (hence the too tall tree last year) and this tree in particular looked pretty skinny compared to the others there. But how can you argue with $18. So we decided to get the tree. It took all of 3 seconds for Brian to cut it down. Once we got it home...it didn't really look so scraggly anymore. I thought it would be waif-like, but it fits just nicely in the front entry room. So we have a tree...all decorated and lit up for Bix to enjoy and marvel at. He did help with the lights and even tickled the ivories while we strung them.
