no 5-finger discount this time

This morning we hurried and got ready to buy our Christmas tree before it started to rain again. It wasn't raining-raining, but there were little spits here and there. When we got to the store, there were a lot of other people looking and wanting to buy a tree.



Mums and Pops picked up a tree, then dropped it. Picked up another tree, then dropped it. I think that's how you look for trees - pick up, then drop, pick up, then drop. They finally found one they both said yeah to and Pops dragged the tree to this cutting machine to get wrapped up in stringy things. We paid for our tree this year. Not like last year where we got the tree with a 5-finger discount. Not on purpose! This year, Pops and Mums made sure there was no discount.

When we got home, the decorating started. The tree, the walls, the window, the door, and even extra for Pop's work office.



The best thing about tonight was my Choo Choo Train! Pops and I put a choo-choo under the tree and I just watched and watched as it choo'd around and around the tree. I was so excited. The smile on my face said it all. It's a little loud and the smoke that comes out from the top of the choo-choo is just wowsers.



Thank you Pops. I love my Choo-Choo.
