Kirsten was a little worried, she said she wanted a "hooge" tree but not "too hooge". The poor guy selling the trees had to drag out around a dozen trees so we could compare them to the one I eventually bought.
There was one I really wanted, it was too far too big though. It was all twisted at the top and I was sure everyone else would dismiss it because of it's less than perfect appearance and so I felt I should bring it home with us.
But Murray put his foot down, he didn't think that any tree was worth cutting a hole in the ceiling for.
So we brought home the original choice instead. I love it! It is so perfect to me, a really lovely shape.
On the way to the car Fraser apologised to the man! As K and I were skipping ahead (yes I really did this! no wonder Fraser felt the need to apologise for me ;) ) I heard Fraser mumble to the man " I am SO sorry you had to cope with my Mum. She just loves Christmas and the tree is important to her" LOL I didn't think I was that bad .................
So I unveil to you
THE PEAT FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE!
Sorry I know you wanted to see the nice twinkly sparkly lights, my camera wont do that. Sigh.
We had such fun decorating the tree together. Remembering the memories behind our favourite ornaments.
We are all super excited for something else new to us this year! Can you guess what it is? It is something that is a definite requirement for a certain gentleman who comes around but once a year.........
YES! We have a fireplace with a real live chimney attached! wooo hooo!
(sorry for the big pink balloon, I am in a hurry and didn't edit the pics)
So we are all ready here, good job Santa is in charge of the gifts this year because I am not organised at all! I haven't even written my cards!!
Gotta run, plenty of baking is on the to do list today. I am hosting a Great American Bake swap tomorrow night! So I better get my tush in the kitchen and get started!
Just time to say
A very Merry Meatball to all xxxxx

I just love your flowered curtains. I must have them! They aren't by chance Ikea so I can buy them here, are they?
sorry Sonja, they are not Ikea. I have no idea what brand they are, my Mum ordered them for me from her catalogue :( I checked and they don't make these exact ones anymore but they do make some similar and in the same colours. Thanks for the compliment though! I love them too x
