We had our first snow in Early December. We got a good amount. The next day, we decided to trek out to Bluemont, VA to pick out and cut down our Christmas Tree. Let me tell you, it was memorable. AJ was tired, we picked the wrong time to go, so he was cranky. We sat in line waiting to get into the parking lot for 40 minutes. The fields were SO muddy since the snow was melting. John and I didn't feel like the tree was secure enough, so for the entire 30 minute ride home, we had the sunroof open (it was cold!) with our hands holding on to the tree for DEAR LIFE. About 5 minutes from the house we realized the tree was secure and let go. We weren't the smartest! Then we got home and the DVR'd Skins game John caught up with the Skins BEATING the undefeated Saints and with two minutes left in the 4th quarter, the DVR cut off the game. Not only did he miss the end, but the Skins lost in that two minutes plus overtime to boot. Poor John had to find out by looking at the internet. BUT..we got a great tree! It smells so nice, is very tall, and perfect for the area we have it in! Was it worth it? Well, I can say that we probably will go back to Lowe's next year for our tree, but I'm really happy that we had the experience!
The first snow on Saturday the 5th of December. The weekend before we got a snowsuit on major sale--so cheap that we thought "if he never gets use of this, it is ok since it was so cheap!"
We picked out our tree--that was the best we could do considering AJ was not happy!
And John cutting down our tree. What a big, strong, man I have!
