Our Christmas Tree

December 10, 2008 on 1:41 pm | In Uncategorized |

As I mentioned on Monday, Pete and I spent the weekend getting ready for the holidays. Much of our time, of course, was focused on our (very first) tree. And here, finally, are the photos to prove it!

Searching for just the right tree.
lots and lots of trees to choose from

Originally, we thought we’d get a small tree, but eventually opted for one that wasn’t tiny, but was narrow enough to fit in the small space between our two couches. Luckily, it just fit in the car.
glad we didn't have to put it on the roof

It seemed downright roomy before we untied it.
the perfect spot for our tree

And we picked the perfect size after all, though there was no way to tell while we were choosing.

We also got live mistletoe, which I thought was kind of exciting.

Here I am hard at work on the lights.
notice the overpriced but oh-so-pretty

We both took a bunch of pictures. We’re very proud, as you can tell.

The finished product (minus a tree topper, which we don’t currently have).
we were happy to find that you can still sit comfortably on that far couch

  2. Your tree looks beautiful! It’s so nice to sit back and admire decorations once they’re up. Love the mistletoe, that’s the one thing I forget every year.
