Waiting in the car while brother and Dad get the tree!
So I had to a test in Lagrande and Jason needed to pick up our bulls and he had to tie up a few other things....we decided that this would be a great opportunity to take the boys and get a Chirstmas tree. We thought and debated a couple different options and on the way down to Lagrande Jason and I had discussed the 'true' spirit of Christmas with Jett. That Christmas is really about Jesus and not presents....so on and on. As we were driving to get the bulls there was a tree that had been removed by the power company and it was laying there kinda sad --kinda like Charlie Browns' Christmas tree...live what you preach so we pulled over and asked Jett if this tree would be good for our tree -- his eyes lit up and in his eyes that tree was fabulous. I wanted to protest but the problem is that this little tree is very imperfect and so are we as humans but Jett was the only one -- with his innocent to see the trees' value and to him it was perfect ...so in the true spirit of Christmas I have the ugly duckling Christmas tree ...but Jason says, "We are teaching our boys it is not about 'perfection' it is the spirit of Christmas." Well....I still kinda felt like protesting -- but he made me feel petty --darn! So, our 'special' Christmas tree is a sight that is for sure!!!!
We also got to spend the weekend with our friends! And even saw a light parade -- Thanks guys!!!
