The tree

We went to get our Christmas tree last Sunday. Actually, Ben and Brenna went to get our tree. This is very unusual for our family, because we always go together. I was preparing a meal for our friends who just had a baby, and Natalie was still napping. It was supposed to get down to like 5 that night, again. We thought it would be a better idea to have the two of them go, so we could be all cozy in the house for the evening. It turned out to be a great plan. They picked out a beautiful tree! We usually have white chili on the night we get our tree as well. That was a little different this year too. Ben was totally in charge of the food, and we had quite a spread! He boiled and peeled all the shrimp himself just for me. We had cheese, summer sausage, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, buffalo wings, you name it! It was a wonderful evening together as a family.
