Oh, Christmas Tree

We were so excited this year to be able to continue our tradition of chopping down our own family Christmas tree! Last year, what with being knee deep in packing boxes preparing for our move to Lincoln, we weren't able to do it. So sad. And because we moved right before Christmas, we just ended up getting one of the last forlorn trees from the grocery store parking lot by our rental house. Although, strangely, it was actually one of the better trees we've gotten. But anyways. Still not the same as cutting it down ourselves with plenty of hot chocolate and fun times afterward!

The tree ended up being a little hilariously on the ginormous side once we actually got it into the house. It's funny how they never seem to look that big, you know, when they're in a field surrounded by hundreds of other trees. And we really thought we were picking one of the smaller ones. Oh well, making up for our lost year, right? The girlies had a great time decorating, and it was so, so nice to be in our house.

Now onto finishing up my Christmas shopping so we have some stuff to stick under it...
