Christmas tree, O Christmas tree



My favorite radio station, KSBJ, has been playing non-stop Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving, so it did not take me long to get in the Christmas spirit. Dash and I have already hung our Christmas lights on our house and decorated, but were missing a tree - until today! We started a tradition today of cutting down our tree at a Christmas tree farm. We went to Spring Creek Growers and came home with our first Christmas tree. We had already hit Hobby Lobby's 50% off sale on ornaments and as I sit here typing next to our lit up tree in our study (sadly our study so Cooper does not eat the tree whole, as he might be capable of doing so), I must say it looks great. We only have one sentimental ornament on it so far, an aTm one we bought last year together. This year's ornament, our First Christmas Together ornament complete with our wedding date and a bride and groom, has no yet arrive, and I know Dash is sitting on pins and needles waiting for it. Or not. But he will appreciate it one day.

Our tree got shaken to remove the dead pine needles and placed in netting for the ride home. Below is the finished product - our first Christmas tree!
