This Christmas tree is special to us. Here is why. Earlier in the week we had gone over finances and decided that we just didn't have money for a tree this year. We had been laid off for a month. Thankfully Derrick is working again. HORRAY! The following Sunday some members of our ward asked if we could use a 9 ft tree. Derrick said yes. That evening the tree arrived, 14 feet tall, and totally fresh. I think they cut it themselves from the mountains. Derrick cut the top off and we put the top in our Christmas stand. Its actually a very pretty tree.The kids helped decorate it and were besides themselves with excitement. Landon is especially excited. We found him after bedtime sitting in the rocking chair watching the tree. The next morning he was up at 4 am turned the lights of the tree back on and went back to bed.
