Bringing it home wasn't exactly the Norman Rockwell-esque 'pick it out from the snowy field chop it down and bring it home on a sled' -type process I was hoping for. It was a more modern day 'pick it from the garden center, ask the manager if there's a discount and swipe the credit card' type of thing. We had to pick one that is more easily kept out of reach of too curious little hands and little paws, so overwhelming it is not...aye, but she is sturdy and true...
...it's real, it's fragrant...and it tastes good.
And while we were out we decided to cut out the middle man, swing by the North Pole and get a quick gift list check in, straight at the source...
Christmas is on track, and full steam ahead...

Good Santa keepsake photo. Glad the tree tastes good!
A little background on that santa; his name is Eugene Pike, and he has heartfeltly played that roll for thousands of kids, over decades. And this was alongside his other life-long role as a boyscout troop master; his house is filled with plaques signed by presidents and other government officials accumulated over his 27 years of service to that organization...
You guys are so Lucky to have such a beautiful little Girl to enjoy Christmas with. Savor every precious moment. Merry Christmas all,,, Larry
Your sweet little girl is truly mesmerized by Santa, and THAT Santa even makes me wonder. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!
