We bought a new tree. Robert said to get a big fat one that we can have for a good long while. Knowing the absolute horrific persecution being done to Hobby Lobby by our governement I decided to show them our family's support by shopping there. It was a great hardship and sacrafice. *sarcasm* But I will definitely be looking for anyway to give any support to Hobby Lobby for standing up for their right to refuse to pay for others' abortions. And to be honest, a part of me can not believe that I just had to make that statement! That we are even in a place as a country that people are being FORCED to pay for the death of a stranger's child is absolutly brain exploding, right?! I'm just.... obviously so niave to be shocked that we have declined to this point. What some would call progress. sigh.... I'm done..... for now. So we bought a nine foot tree, a few new tree decorations and a small tree for downstairs without any decor for it. I told the kids that if they wanted it decorated then they had to make ornaments. Amazed at how big of a deal that is for them. They are all over it! Also I bought two tiny trees for their rooms for a just a few bucks a piece. They have already made many gifts and wrapped them for eachother and put them onder the trees in their room! It's so cute! Cal even wrapped one of his balls for Deakin. And better yet, eveything was 50% off! Thank you Hobby Lobby! I cried after I left. Because they had a nice young boy that helped me load the tree box. I had removed half of the back seat thinking that might be enough room. It wasn't. So we uprooted the other half of the back seat and shoved it to the side. Still not enough room. So we moved one of the five point harness seats up a row and pushed the box up on top of the second bench row. That finally worked! But I felt so sad afterwards, thinking of how Robert and I usually would be the ones manuevering and shoving that huge box. God bless that young man, he was so patient and nice through all that.

We still feel good about how we do Christmas. It's fun.
