We still fit in the truck...barely. Drove out to Corbett to Olcott Family Tree Farm, the same place we've gone the last couple years. I love this tradition and that the kids still want to go with us to pick out the tree the day after Thanksgiving. That night we watched Elf to kick off the Christmas season. We started decorating the tree Saturday. Kari and Joel had to leave to go back to school, so I sent them photos of it finished that evening.
To give us something to do that afternoon--and to keep our minds off the sadness of saying goodbye to the kids--Greg, Grant, Aubrey, and I went to the Sandy Cinemas to see Wicked. Half way through the movie, the fire alarm went off, and we all had to evacuate. We waited around for a bit and watched the firetruck arrive. Apparently, some wiring went bad and there had been some smoke. The theater told us we could come back again later for free. So, we went home. We called later and found out they were open once again, so we waiting until half way through the movie to catch the part we hadn't seen yet. It worked out just fine, even if it did take us two trips to finish the movie.
