Christmas Tree Shopping

Written by Bartek on December 9, 2007 – 3:11 pm -

Since the wedding season is slow during the winter we decided to make our first post about our Christmas tree hunting this weekend! Luckily this year it wasn’t as cold as last so we actually enjoyed picking a tree in the IKEA parking lot. Klementine is still afraid of the snow but she doesn’t mind the trees! Magda had her heart set on this one ugly one we tripped over that was lying on the ground. It was small, sparse and didn’t look too good according to me, but we decided to go with it. As you can see on the car, the tree really is small!

Some funny guy with the exact same car as us decided to park right next to us and of course I had to put the tree on that car and started to adjust it when Magda brought it to my attention…I should also note we’re both very bright people because we tied the tree through our windows on the left side of the car which made it impossible to open the doors…so we had to use the right side to get in and out…brilliant! But of course when we brought it home the tree was perfect…as with most things Magda suggests. ;) Anyways, onto the pictures!

Choosing a tree

Looks small eh?

Some heavy duty rope and skilled technician holding it all secure

All I’m thinking of is the Chevy Chase Christmas Vacation scene when they open the tree…

Ta-daaaaaaaaaa!

Klementine: Hi daddy! Just wanted to say how much I like looking at the blog your making. I also enjoy very much so, looking at pictures of all of us, I always point out who is who! I get excited when I see you, and I always ask mommy where you might be.. She responds “work”, and I get sad! But when 4pm rolls around, i already am jumping in front of the window waiting to see the lights come down the road! I love you very much! Klementine (Jan 31, 2008 2:03 pm)
