Christmas Tree

Our first Christmas together has been quite an adventure, and we have had a good time sharing traditions and ideas for our Christmases together. This year, we decided on going to cut down a real tree for our home, even though neither of us have had a real tree before. So, Jason's sister and brother-in-law, Jessica and Bryan, were kind enough to let us come along with them to pick a Christmas tree. After wondering the mountain side for a while, both of us decided on a tree. We appreciate Jess and Bryan for letting us come along with them and for help us find a good tree.
( don't mind my 1980's style clothing. My family is not big into winter sports, so the winter I have are the out of day moon boots and crazy colored cloths. Cute.)

We didn't realize it before, but the fake trees are nothing like the real trees. They are not as full as the bushy fake tree I have always had. Let me tell you, it was difficult for me to decorate. I was quite a bit frustrated and grumpy. After a few hours of unsuccessfully lighting the tree, I threw the wad of Christmas lights hard on the floor and yelled at the tree, and Jason was nominated to finish wrapping the lights around each branch of the tree. He did a wonderful job, and after I decorating, un-decorating, redecorating, un-decorating, redecorating, our tree was finished. It turned out to be cute, and love the way it looks in our tiny apartment. It's perfect for us.(needless to say, this picture was take the next day when we were both a lot happier about the whole decorating ordeal)
