Oh Christmas Tree!

Getting the tree tied down

A rosy cheeked Katherine with Nene

Decisions, decisions

Luke and Jon Jon being silly

Getting the ornaments on

Reading one of the boy's old Christmas books

This little fella was worn out
We spent the morning putting up the last of our Christmas decorations.  I decided if it was going to get done it was getting done today or it was going back to the basement!  This afternoon we met Bill and Paula to get their Christmas tree.  Jim had borrowed Bill's truck for the Franklin Christmas parade so we decided the tree could go on top of my vehicle.  I stayed in the car and gave Katherine a bottle while Paul, Luke, Bill and Paula picked the tree out.  We looked a little like the Griswolds driving back to Gallatin.  We were going about 30 miles an hour on Vietnam Vets which was driving me crazy!  Paul was afraid the tree was going to slide off because it was so windy.  We stopped once and he and Bill tied it down it a little better.

Jon and Kristen came later that afternoon and we all decorated the tree and watched the SEC championship game.  War Eagle!!!  Undefeated!  I had put some taco soup in the crock pot earlier in the day so we enjoyed that for supper.  We had a great time visiting with everyone.  Luke played so hard he fell asleep on the way home. It was so cold and windy he wore one of Bill's hats home!
