I am very excited to show our first Christmas tree to everyone. My husband and I have been battling it out over real tree vs fake tree for 8.5 years. Due to our battle, we have NEVER had a Christmas tree. Here it is. **For the record my husband won the fake vs real tree battle.**
Now it’s time to get decorations that fit my style. My friend got married last weekend and gave me a cute notepad that I think is pretty close to what I envision my Christmas style is. Reindeer, snowflakes, white, red, gray and maybe some wood thrown in there for a more natural feel. Her wedding favors were red bulb ornaments. I may collected a few to take home and put to good use.
Hopefully I can find the limited number of ornaments I have collected over the years. Where did I put that box when we organized the basement last year?
After opening most of the boxes in the basement I found some of the ornaments and decorations I have gotten over the years.
Last night Porter played and I decorated the tree. Of course I want more ornaments, but for now I’m happy with the result.
The house smells pine. Now I need to keep a baby and two dogs away from the tree. Let the fun begin.
