POTD 273/365

so today I (miraculously) convinced Chris that we should get an artificial Christmas tree this year.  the ones at Costco are actually pretty awesome, and the fact that it comes with lights already on is what pushed Chris over to what he calls "the dark side"...so we went to get one, bought it, took it out to the car, and...it wouldn't fit!  So Chris took it back in and returned it, all the while muttering something uner his breath about telling us so.  Plus, it was FREEZING.  Like, literally.  And SOMEBODY forgot to bring their baby a coat (ooops).  And SOMEBODY else (Camden) hit the baby in the head with their booster seat. 

so we went home, and got the boys all tucked in for their naps, and Grace and I left again to run errands...dropping off stuff at Value Village, stopping at some friends' house, and getting a Papa Murphy's Cowboy pizza.  YUM.  Oh, and don't worry, we got our bogo Starbucks holiday drinks on too.

this photo is of Grace on our way home, right as the sun was getting ready to set.  it was beautiful out, but so damn cold.  seriously.  feels like some snow might be coming...
