Sam wanted a real Christmas tree. I imagined a two foot tall tree; Sam imagined a seven foot tall tree. Sam did the lights and I did the ornaments and ribbon. I am so proud of it that I keep trying to come up with excuses to invite people over. Not a single person has seen it yet! If you live nearby, come see my tree!
Picking out our tree at Lowe's. The worker told us not to buy it there but to go cut down one ourselves. We were way too lazy for that type of thing.
Strapped to the top of Sam's car. It did not end up being very secure after all so I had my arm through the sunroof holding it on.
Beginning to put on the lights.
We don't have a fireplace.
It is hard to take a good picture of a Christmas tree!
And a little bit closer.
"What was Alex doing during this time," you ask?
Sam was cold on our way to our ward Christmas party so he wore oven mitts.
At our ward Christmas party!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! If I lived nearby I would definitely come see it. What a beautiful Christmas tree! Great work, and adorable baby of course!
ReplyDeleteFor your first real Christmas tree you did fabulously!! It's absolutely beautiful! I love the colors especially...it's always been a tradition in my family to get a real tree, and Jeff's family never did, so that was a tradition I brought with me and it's stuck. We love it! Don't you LOVE the smell? That's one of my favorite parts...
