The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's been a while since I updated this thing! Things got busy all of the sudden. Holidays came up, I got a JOB!! And sadly my little blog fell to the wayside. But, hopefully I will start to update regularly again...that's my goal anyway.

John and I went to pick out our Christmas tree this weekend. We got a real tree which was very exciting to me because I have never had a real tree before. It's beautiful! I love it! We went to this cute lot we saw on the side of the road and picked one out.

This is a pretty terrible picture...but it was really cold and we couldn't get a good one, so we settled.

I stayed warm by the outdoor fireplace. I want one of these when I get a house!




The finished product. I strung popcorn and everything! It's kind of a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree.


Here is our 2009 Christmas ornament. It's a little tent to symbolize our camping trip we took in October. It's a constant reminder to me that I don't ever want to go camping again.

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. And now I love it even more that John and I can start traditions together. My next goal is to throw a Christmas party. I have to show off my tree before I have to throw it away!

Cute tree and great job on the popcorn. We tried that one year and it took forever, so we gave up.

I love it! We will have to come over and see it some time soon. I'm impressed with your popcorn strand. That does take forever!

ps. Christmas isn't the same without you.

I love your tree. We have never had a real tree either. The kids keep asking me to get one and I said maybe next year. I think I will go buy a real wreath for the door. That will be a good start. Can't wait to see you guys.
