Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree, why?

I guess there really isn't much to tell but I'll try. So back when we were in our apartment we bought a Christmas tree, it was a very nice tree but we underestimated the small area in our apartment set aside for it.

Hence, the tree was big, way too big but it didn't matter and we used it anyway. We didn't really use our dinning room table much anyway. Then we moved into our house happy that we could accommodate our tree...WRONG!

So the tree fit but was still bigger than we wanted so this year Steve promised we could get a new SLIM tree. First we went to K-mart (in the scary part of town, there really aren't too many K-mart's left), the trees were too expensive, then that night we went to Wal-mart and we found one and bought it. Then we realized it wasn't much thinner than the one we already had so I heard Hobby Lobby was having a sale. Once I found the tree I wanted, I bought it and had them hold it so I could immediately return the Wal-mart one. Then I went back to pick up my new one all the while having Ella Bella with me. She really was a good sport. Fast forward to Thanksgiving day: Steve put up tree and part of the pre-lit lights aren't working, so today we take back the tree and guess what? Hobby Lobby has no more trees. I'll I want is a Slim 7 1/2 tree! So Steve took us to Target and there it was...

now we have a tree that fits.
