O Christmas Tree

This weekend's fun didn't stop at the wedding.  The Dragon and I picked out our first Christmas tree together. Well it'll be his tree, I just got to help in the fun! The process went fairly quickly...well I guess it had to when we got there 10 minutes before the place closed up. We walked around looking at the trees for a bit before picking one up.



It's close to 7 feet tall and slim, I think it's cute. The guy at Home Depot was quick, throwing it in this contraption to wrap it up and load it in the car.



The boys shoved it in the back of the car, quickly the car filled with the scent of pine. The smell of Christmas!
The dragon dragged it into the house, cut the bottom and set it up in its stand. The next morning we woke up to a slightly leaning tree. The bare evergreen needed a little light, on Sunday we dressed it up.



I used to have hearts and stars on my tree, now the mix of both the Dragon and I call for all kinds of ornaments and it couldn't be prettier. This little evergreen is now dressed in its Christmas best, and I must say it is one beautiful tree. I can't wait for Santa to see it too!



With lights gleaming and the ornaments hanging the two of us had much fun getting the hobbit house dressed up. The mantel is ready for Santa's arrival. Even the Foo Dogs have a little Christmas spirit.

Now it's time to cuddle up with a fire and enjoy our hard work.
