Beautiful trees! Our tradition is to go get a tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So, maybe next weekend I will be able to share a photo. I'm so excited about Christmas this year. My dh and I rarely exchange gifts since we started having kids. This year Maximus was my Christmas present. My dh has been wanting to learn how to play the banjo. He went by a banjo store and they had a good used one for sale. He has been obsessed with it ever since. He wanted to go home with it that day, but he told the guy he would have to come home and talk it over with me and then he would let him know something. I told him that there was no way we could afford it right now (with 3 human babies, and him just buying me Maximus). He called the guy back and told him that he wouldn't be able to get it. Little did he know that I had already called the guy and told him I wanted it, and that my dh was going to call and tell him he couldn't get it. (Sorry folks, I know this is a long story, I'm just so excited! lol) Dh went by there yesterday on his way home from work to get other music supplies and of course he asked about the banjo. The guy told him, "man, I was afraid you were going to ask about it, but some guy already bought it". ROFLOL He is going to be SO surprised Christmas morning!!!!!
