O Christmas Tree

Kenny and I finally came back home on Sunday night after a week and a half in New Orleans, and we stopped at Home Depot for our Christmas tree before heading to the house. We got there just in time before they closed for the night and found a great tree (we hoped). Most of their trees were still bound up from transport, but the worker guy said those were the best ones. So we picked a tree that was the perfect height and crossed our fingers that it would look good once we got it in the house.


We left the tree in water in the garage Sunday night and then Kenny brought it inside last night so we could decorate it. He did a fabulous job with the lights and then we moved on to ornaments. We got a bunch as wedding presents (one of the perks of being married in early December!), so it was fun to rediscover all of them. My mom's good friend Lynne gave us a whole box of ornaments as a wedding shower present, but since they were all wrapped up in tissue paper, I hadn't looked at them until last night. Thanks, Lynne: you picked out some gorgeous ones!

It's a mess now, but it'll be pretty when everything's up!

Checking out all of our fun ornaments!

The finishing touch: a star from my mom

Merry Christmas everyone!
