O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree

I know a few of these photos were in yesterday's post, but she looks so cute!

We got our Christmas Tree last Friday! We've gone to this same place for three years now.  They also sell  fruits and vegetables during the summer months.  I think they  recognize us, especially now that we have Sally.  Reid does a great job of letting me pick out the tree.  He has to okay it of course, but I really get to decide.  The kind we usually get is only $25 and we've had really great luck, the smell and the longevity!  When we realized there were only two left of the kind we liked and they both weren't the greatest, we decided we'd come back another day or check another location.  Plus, it was chilly outside and Sally wanted to run around and she kept falling and getting wet and full of needles. 

One of the workers wanted to chat with Reid before we left, while I put Sally in the car. As I sat in the car, a bit sad because I thought today was the day we'd get the tree (we were excited for Sally to have her first tree that she would kind of understand), I saw Reid waving me over.  He was in the $45 section.  Uh, no sir, we are not paying $45 for a tree.  Thank you, but sorry.  With a twinkle in his eye, this ever so kind man said "No no, these are the same price as the one you're looking at."  I got all excited, "Oh you mean we only have to pay..." Reid: "Shhhh shhhh shhhh get back in the car, I'll take care of it!"

Yep, that's right! That ever so kind worker gave us a nicer tree for our original price.  Reid, being the analyzer he is said "He really did a smart thing there.  Even though they may have lost some money on the tree, they at least got $25 from us rather than nothing, plus we feel we owe it to them so we'll continue to go back there"

Fast forward to the tree in our living room all decorated.  Sally wakes up from her nap, we're so excited to show her the tree.  She walks right.past.the.flippin'.tree.in.her.living room!  As if it's been there all along.  After about 5 minutes she turns around with no emotion points and says "Staaaaar"  turns back and continues to play.  I guess the plus side of this is that we haven't had to teach her that she can't touch or pull the tree.  She does have an ornament that she likes that is on the bottom branch for her viewing.  She lays on the floor, pokes it and says "Hiiiiooooh" {Hello} I'm trying to get it on video, but as is in most cases she stops doing in when she sees the camera out.  Here's a video of her talking about the Tree/stars.  She's doing the hand motions for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

She got a wet butt that's full of needles from falling and she's still smiling!
