getting ready

Yesterday Al put up the Christmas lights outside with Tyler's assistance (okay, he spent most of the time throwing a ball). Later Tyler and I decorated inside. That evening we watched as Tyler decorated the tree "all by myself". Please don't laugh at our pathetic little tree. We won't be here for Christmas so this is just gonna have to do for here!

Last night Al ran out to Walmart to buy some groceries that we needed and also picked up a little live tree for Tyler's nightstand. He was quite excited when he woke up!
