capítulo 7/ Chapter 7 O Christmas Tree

We drove our totaled crimson volvo over to Home Depot today.
The car wouldn't start. The car started. We got lost, took a wrong turn. The car turned off.
We finally made it and went all out purchasing an Oregon Noble fir. We're official!

After seeing two ladies almost come to blows at the 99c store, I sauntered over to buy some lights some place else. What is it about the 99c store that makes people feel so powerful and feisty? Where is the Holiday spirit?

I'm thankful for the tree, a symbol of Baby B's first Christmas, and our first Christmas as a familia. I printed out pictures of all of us and our beloved family members and with a little glue and ribbon--they became ornaments. The tree is beautiful!
We may not have many presents under this tree, but I'm happy that we have one--and it may be the only year that Baby B doesn't try to tear down the tree or peek at his presents.
