We have been excited to get Christmas decorations out for a while. I took advantage of Benjamin working a couple Saturdays ago, and wrapped his Christmas gifts. He couldn't be outdone, so within a day or two, he also wrapped presents for me. We had two different piles of gifts, since we haven't invested in tags yet. But looking at a pile of presents doesn't lend itself to putting Christmas off until after the Thanksgiving holiday.
We finally got ourselves a Christmas tree! It's BEAUTIFUL. We decided to put it in the kitchen corner this winter, since our living room is so crowded.
(By the way, the angel on top was a Shopko buy in our Thanksgiving adventure! We're excited to have an angel to use this year.)
Ok, so this is what our tree REALLY looks like. We wanted to cut our own tree this year, and found out the closest place we could go to do it was in Price. AND we don't have a truck or anything to put a tree into. AND we are seldom at home before it's quite dark, which makes it less exciting to wander around the wild and chop/drag a tree home. We talked about it, and decided we'd go for a fake tree this year, since it's already a week into December, and we fly to Georgia in just two weeks. That's a lot of work for only a couple weeks enjoyment.
We were lucky to find this little tree at DI, and we won't feel bad disposing of it after just one year of use. I especially love our presents at the base.
Isn't he cute?

Do you think that Benjamin would be a good base for the tree wrapped up in beautiful wrapping paper. JK love you two see you Saturday!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love the tree. The base of presents is the best. Dang, you guys have lots of presents!!! Can't wait to fly home with you!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Amber...we wrap things like: a box of Maccaroni and Cheese, a pair of socks, and you must know that I've sorta become a little addicted to DI books ($1 and $2!!!) We just put our things in big boxes...Or they get wrapped how we find them on the doorstep (because we ordered something online). Lots of air.
