Guess Who Has A Tree?

THE SCROOGE'S HAVE BECOME THE GRISWALD'S!!!

We decided to put the tree together at our house, and Brian rode in the back to hold it up. We figured if we showed up with the tree out of the box and put together, we had less of a chance of them saying no....


We didn't have the camera out when we walked in - but their reactions were great! As you can see, they were gung ho within 15 minutes!

They even stopped for a pose! The Griswald's were great sports!

Zack and Brian went shopping all by themselves at Wal-Mart last night! Pretty good job, don't you think?!

Here are the conspirator's! We were all so proud!!!


And the finish product! There wasn't enough beading, so they (yes they) decided they were going to head to buy more! As well as a tree skirt!!!


And belive it or not - we inspired them to get out their ONLY other Christmas decorations!! Better watch out though - our next visit may bring more surprises!

way to go guys! Having a tree will definitely enhance our Christmas together with everyone :) That looks like it must have been so much fun. Tom and Cindy seem very happy about it too- it looks like it goes perfectly with their new home! :)

Erin, Tom and I really could have used your help in fending off the pack of wolves!!! There was a moment when I thought Tom was going to do the "fish" again and start flopping on the floor.

Cindy, I don't think I would have been much help. I thought it was a great idea. I just wasn't brave enough to participate. I think it looks really pretty and will make your home more festive for the holidays.
