Advent Day 1, 2018: Tree Trimming Party

TREE TRIMMING PARTY

It’s December 1st and the Scouts have set up their Christmas tree lot around the corner beside the AME Church. We’ve had an artificial tree for years. But, now that we have furniture that seats more than two, our old tree doesn’t fit our living space. For the first time in forever, we’re going to pick out a live tree and trim it to fit the room! I can’t wait for the smell of fir inside the house again!   

IT’S ALSO TIME TO MAKE THE FAVOURITE PHOTO ORNAMENTS!

HERE ARE THIS YEAR’S VERY FRENCH FAVE PHOTOS FRONT AND BACK:

OH, AND I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION, WE’LL TOTALLY BE TRIMMING THE TREE WHILST WATCHING THE NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS DEFEAT THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES IN THE BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TONIGHT. GO CATS!
