A Trip to the Zoo

Last Sunday after church, David and I decided to go shopping for Christmas decorations. Mom told us to get a tree from Garden Ridge, so that's where we went. Unfortunately, there isn't one near us, and the closest one was still difficult to find. Mom said it was in an outlet mall, once we got inside, I remembered going there before, but it had been many years.

I think that everyone else had the same idea as us! Garden Ridge was an absolute zoo. I'm so glad we went before Thanksgiving, as opposed to after. Anywho, so we braved the madness and looked around. We were looking at all the trees, trying to decide between the selection. We finally picked a pre-lit seven and a half foot tree, then looked for trimmings.

We found a stand, a tree skirt, a star for the top, and a box of a bunch of ornaments. While looking at the ornaments, David found a display of Star Wars ornaments. I picked Princess Leia, while he looked for Han Solo. Unfortunately, there were no Hans, so we wound up with Luke Skywalker.

We found a Santa hat for me, as well as outdoor lights for the roof, lights to go around the flower beds, and lights to line the sidewalk. Once we got home with everything, we were pooped! I'm glad that we have all of our stuff now. I'm excited about decorating our house for Christmas!
