Fringe benefits

This will be Owen's first Christmas!  I should be excited, but we've been so busy we did not have time to get a tree.  My easy-way-out-plan was to ask my brother-in-law to get a tree and celebrate at their house.  It doesn't get easier than that....until he and his girlfriend showed up at our door with a tree last night!!  They went through the trouble just so Owen can have a real first Christmas.  I was actually touched by their sweet gesture because it was so unexpected.  Owen is soooo lucky.  Even though the tree is for Owen, I'm enjoying the fringe benefits as his mom.  You'd think the special treatment ends after I popped the baby out, but it is only the beginning!  HeeHee

This tree smells so good.  Now I have to step it up and get it decorated by the 24th with presents underneath.
