It's so Pretty

I found this tree skirt at Pottery Barn several weeks ago. I wanted it so bad. But it was too expensive. I wanted it, but even if I could have afforded to spend that amount on a tree skirt, I still wouldn't have just because it was ridiculously over priced. I got a gift certificate to that store for Christmas from Grandma Lois. So as soon as I got back from our trip to NY, I ran to the mall to see if it had gone on sale yet. I got lucky! It was still expensive, but at least it was half as expensive. When the guy rang it up he was like..."wow, this is expensive, I thought it was on sale" I was like... "that is the sale price"...(sad face). But thanks to Grandma Lois I'll have the cutest tree skirt in the neighborhood next year!

P.S. We made it home safely (for those of you who were worried). Walter was so, so happy to see us. So were the kitties. Walter just ran and ran and ran all around the house from the living room where his papa was to the entryway were his mama was and up and down the stairs and into the other living room to see his kitties. When the dog sitter dropped him off, she informed me that all of his Christmas presents were still at work on my desk in a giant box. I guess he's pretty popular there. He also came back to us with more stuff in his suitcase (a box) than what we dropped him off with. He was really spoiled while we were gone. Oh, and one more thing, Adam loves his gun stuff. He couldn't wait to get home to put the accessories on them. Here he is playing with it. There is a hotel across the lake. I always think it would be funny if they had a telescope set up over there and they peeked in on us. There would be a number of times they would see a giant gun pointed at them. Adam likes to point his gun out that window for some reason. He sometimes sets them up with stilts and a laser pointer and then lays on the floor with it.
