We started the tradition last year of getting a real tree for Christmas. Luke could hardly wait to put up the decorations and the tree that he thought Thanksgiving would never come. I told him we weren't going to put anything up until we were back from Orange City. The minute we got home on Sunday afternoon, he was ready to go pick one out. Ryan and Luke went by themselves to get one for two reasons. I didn't want to send Reagan and Luke with him while he tried to haul a tree around and we couldn't all fit in the van anyways! We haven't gone out to a tree farm to cut one down; for now we stick with Lowe's. Maybe in a few years we'll be more ambitious! We almost had a major ordeal on our hands when we told them we couldn't decorate it until the next day, because the tree was all wet from the snow. That did not go over well! They enjoyed decorating it and putting all their ornaments on and now I have a place to put all the presents I've been hiding.
