The First Christmas Tree

O.k., we know this is a little past it's prime (everyone has moved on from Christmas and really does not want to think about it for another year).  BUT, we just had to share with you some pictures from our first Christmas tree in the new house!

This was our very first year with being able to have a real tree.  We went and picked it out and cut it down ourselves.  And although it took until last weekend to get it out of our house (thanks Carl), a real tree was by far better!


Yes, we decide to choose a tree that was at the bottom of the hill and pass all those perfectly nice trees towards the top!



It was freezing out that day!

We were ready to carry it to the truck!



Decorating night....this is when we discovered most of our Christmas decorations we had in storage were ruined :-(



All finished and presents wrapped (and let's just say none of those were for us!)


Merry (belated) Christmas everyone -- see you next year!
