it was the wee hours of the morning...4:18am. i was stumbling through the house still half asleep on my way to olivia's room to answer her cry. i rounded the corner to go up the stairs, and this is the sight i saw. was I dreaming??? there wasn't a gigantic christmas tree here last night! as i wiped the sleep away, i slowly realized that i was not dreaming...there was, in fact, a huge christmas tree right in front of me! so i went to take care of liv, came back downstairs, stared at the new tree for a while, and reluctantly went back to bed. i really wanted to wake astro up to thank him for this wonderful surprise...but i didn't want to wake him up. sleep is precious in our house! so i went back to sleep and waited for the alarm to go off to tell him thank you. what a wonderful thing to wake up to! who wouldn't be excited to wake up and find a 9 foot christmas tree surprise?!
we already have a christmas tree in our living room. and i love that tree. it is a 6 foot tree we've had since we got married...this is our 7th christmas with that tree! which seems impossible! that is our fun, kid friendly tree! it's colorful and happy and full of bright ornaments. and i love it. but when we built our new house, i had visions of also putting a more formal christmas tree in the entryway. so this was one of my gifts from astro this year! what a good husband! i can't wait to buy the decorations for it, and next year actually decorate this tree!
thank you, santa!love,
shannon
