So we gave in and bought a fake tree. Any bad feelings quickly dissipated when all the needles stayed on the tree, there were no watering issues, plus it's made of recycled plastic and we didn't have to kill a tree. And since we went faux we went all out and got a black tree. It's pretty with white lights. Andrew also put lights up outside in subzero temperatures and we got to enjoy seeing them twinkle in the snow. We're still enjoying them twinkling in the snow and probably will until after the New Year. Heheh.
The girls tried to wait up for a glimpse of Santa. We made them a sleeping bag bed in the second living room and they tried so hard to keep their little eyes open. I'm surprised Arlie was able to sleep through Andi's taking over the bed. They didn't spy Santa but they were up early to open presents. When the sun doesn't come up until 10:15, early feels very early. As you can tell from the above photo, Kit wasn't really enthusiastic about the hour we got up but forgot her annoyance when she opened a few presents of her own.
