Decorating the tree

Last Friday we went to get our tree and it was freezing! It was snowing and blowing but we dressed warm and found our tree. When the man was shaking it the top broke and he was very relieved that we did not yell at him. I assume he has gotten yelled at before. But we told him we could make it work. So the tree is slightly shorter than we wanted but that is not important. We brought it home and Riley cut the strings to "release" the tree. She liked that part. I just realized that we do not have a picture of the tree after we decorated it but I will get one later. We managed to only decorate the tree before bedtime. Saturday was our last craft show for the year and the weather was terrible. We were contemplating not going (it was at West Catholic High School in GR) but after calling and finding out they were not going to cancel the show we decided to try and go. I usually pull a trailer with our stuff in it and with the weather I was not sure that was a good idea. So Matt and I went out to load as much of the stuff we could in the van all while leaving room for the three of us to sit. We really thought we would have to leave some stuff home but once again the mini-van has amazed me. We were able to take everything! So we did the show and it was great. It was a little nerve racking watching it snow all day while we were there but it was not too bad coming home. So another craft show season is behind us and we will miss Abby as she has decided to free up her fall for other things. Sunday we worked on decorating the house and the outside. Unfortunately since we have gotten so much snow already we decided not to make our light display into a musical show with animation. We will try that next year. We actually have 15 strands of lights that we have not put out yet because of the snow. I have not taken any pictures of the house to share yet because we just finished them late last night. The pics will be posted soon.
