I just want to start this post by saying that I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!!! And I can't stop laughing right now.....
About 30 minutes ago I was going through my pictures getting ready to do a post about going and getting our Christmas tree. It is a tradition that I love and I have been holding on to my love for going to get a real tree over surrenduring to the fake... For those of you who have been following my blog for a while you probably haven't forgotten about our mishap with the Christmas tree but if you are new to H and E than take a look at this and this before you continue on!
Anyhoo so there I am sitting there looking at my cute pictures we took the other night thinking that I am grateful that I am not the pregnant one this year (Simone is much cuter pregnant than me) when I hear a crash. I had just put Miss B down so before I could even think what was that? I could only think I hope that didn't wake her up. As I turned the corner to see that our tree had tipped over....YES THAT IS THE TRUTH, I could not stop laughing. I honestly have no idea why or how it tipped, it was the perfect little tree and had no lean to it, and we even had the EXPENSIVE stand. I had to call Hank to come home from a church meeting to help me get the tree back up and get the water damage but the whole time we just could not stop lauging.
Maybe we are not meant to have a real tree but I will keep pushing forward!!! In the meantime will someone come redecorate my tree because it was too much work the first time???

Haha! Oh my gosh...I remember your post about this from last year! Two years in a row?! It was such a beautiful tree too! You did such a great job decorating it. I'm glad you're able to laugh about it though!
OH NO!!! Worst luck ever. I'm so sorry. If I lived by you, I would gladly re-decorate your tree for you!!
p.s. That Santa is totally creepy.
Get out! I totally remember that happening last year. :) Spooooky! I hope Blakely doesn't pull it over, too! Better luck next time!
Yes sir!! That is 2 years in a row!! No worries, Emily and I will do our best to keep the tradition alive and well next year, minus the creepy Santa.
OH DEAR! I do have to admit I laughed out loud when I read this. And here you were today bragging about your shed less tree! On the plus side at least Blakely was in bed instead of climbing over the tree while you were trying to clean it up!
PS Ha, I love your winter coat that goes to your ankles!
are you kidding me?!?! I am so sorry. you are a better person than me. I probably would have cried! I love you guys!!
Way to go Emily!!! YOU keep going for the real tree!
I haven't given up on the real deal but I have only had 2 fall in 30 + years. You gotta love the smell!!! It's worth it! maybe?
XOXOXO Kiss that cute girlie for me...Dru/Yo-Yo
Emily!! Well all I can say is that it looked gorgeous prior to the mishap.
That is so flippin funny!! I loved the links to the past 2 years of crappy trees and the before and after pics of this one!! I am laughing out loud by myself! Good luck next year:)
