O Christmas tree

Brian brought home a tree this evening. I can now say that, yes, I am an absolute pushover for my husband when it comes to Christmas. He loves it so much (as do I), that I simply can't say no too much. It was my intention to get through this holiday season without a tree -- since we'd be in Cali for the holiday anyway. But the pout, the pleading look and the, "What? What do you mean I can't have a tree?" wore me down. Sydney was not helpful, as she proved to be an incredible handful throughout the entire evening. Still, the tree is lit, decorated and pretty. At any rate, we are officially all about Christmas in our house now.
