Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree.....

Oh how I love Christmas, although Thanksgiving is slowly becoming my favorite holiday I just love the spirit in the air the, the kindness shown to one another, and the DECORATIONS!! Last year was my first time EVER having a real Christmas tree, and Darreals first time picking one himself, so as fun as it was to go Christmas tree shopping and buy decorations and all that good stuff it was also very overwhelming ( the freezing temperatures, and rain snow mix didn't help either). This year we were ready; with hat, scarves, boots, gloves, camera, and better weather we marched over to home depot to get our perfect tree!

 The sea of trees
nope! NOT that one, it's not full enough 
 Ahhhhhh, the perfect tree!
 my Paul Buinyan
 Fits perfectly in the corner, and will be even better when the branches fall down
 Time to light it up
  And put the GORGEOUS ornaments on
 
  
  
 
 and the NEW tree topper, the one from last year was close to hideous
The finishing touch
and the house is officially Christmafied, the only thing missing is a fire in the fireplace. Neither one of us were scouts, so we struggle when it comes to fire making!

So gorgeous, so warm, so homey. Happy Holidays everyone :)
