Throwback Thursday – #tbt – The Best Gift Ever (Dec 2010)

One Month Until Christmas

We’ve had a tree from Costco since we lived in Calgary twenty years ago.  Buying at Costco is dangerous b/c trees that look “normal” sized in their giant warehouse are GIGANTIC when you get them into your house.  So we’ve always enjoyed our tree but also always found it quite big.  Last year, we bought […]
