The Hunt is on!!!

Today we hunted, and hunted, and hunted for the perfect Christmas tree. Kawi came along, but stayed in the truck, and went ballistic anytime we were in sight of the truck. (Kawi suffers from separation anxiety.)

It was a lovely day, and many other people had the same idea as we did. We got a little hungry. We got a little grumpy.

We had to agree on what we really wanted. We also had some soul-baring moments (inside joke).

Alas, we finally found the (almost) perfect Christmas tree!!!









And then C realized he had dropped his Blackberry somewhere in the snow.

And then C asked if I would say a prayer so that he would find it.

And he found it, half-buried, but unharmed!

Then we went to Arby's for turkey and swiss sandwiches on wheat minus the mayo, and C thoughtfully commented, "I didn't know they sold this kind of stuff at Arbys!"

We came home and rearranged the furniture to make room for the tree. We stood the tree in the front room and put a star on it. It really was perfect.

Since we were already in remodeling mode, we hung C's birthday present over the piano. And it looked perfect, too!
