The Hoover Family: Our Tree!

A few posts back I had started the Christmas Posts and said I would share our 1st tree pictures. Here are just a few of many. Ryan was just too cute and really got into it. So the day after Thanksgiving I of course had to go hit the sales on "black friday." I was out by 5 am and back home before he was even out of bed. Little did he know I had made plans to "let" him go pick the tree up since it would fit in my car. Yes, he loves me! Then we get it home to find out the wire had been sliced and the cord was in two pieces. If you dont know my husband, we are working on his patience. Let's just say this didn't help and really put him to the test. So off we went back to the store to get another one. By this time is was way later in the day and we put off putting the tree up til the next day. Then, the red ornament set I chose just happened to not have the little hooks in there. So he sat and tied every little short string and did such a wonderful job. I was so proud of him~did I mention he has NO patience? So this was HUGE for him to do. As he tied, I put them on each ornament...and there was 120...=) All in all it was great bonding time, so I like to call it and now we have a BEAUTIFUL tree to last us for the next 3 years. I HOPE! Then back to TEXAS we shall go!
