By the first of November I was begging Caleb to let us go get our Christmas tree. Despite my constant requests we finally got it the Friday after Thanksgiving. I was soooooo excited. It is always my favorite part of every year to get a tree and decorate the house for Christmas. Since we have been married we have gotten the best deal on trees at Home Depot, so with our tight budget we went there again and got a great tree. The trees had all been shipped in that morning and were still bundled so in normal Kathryn reasoning I looked for the tallest one, which is 9 feet at Home Depot, with a nice point. The lady unwrapped and fluffed it and it was perfect I didn't even have to unwrap any other ones. So we tied it on the car and drove home.
After getting the tree on the stand and in our family room we found out that an almost nine foot tree doesn't fit so well when you have 8 1/2 foot ceilings. As my dad will testify I always pick out trees way to big for the house. Caleb had to cut some off the top and clean the scratch off our ceiling :) Once we got the tree upright it looked great, but it kept getting wider and wider as the branches relaxed, so it is a huge tree. I love big trees though so I was very excited. I put the lights on and Caleb and I put all the decorations on.
Joshua kept busy on his play mat, and loved watching the twinkle lights move around as I put them on the tree.
After we finished decorating Caleb was so excited that he started wrapping all our presents and putting them under the tree. Joshua loves all the lights and bright colors.
We also put Christmas lights and garland all over the front of our house and up the stairs, but our camera is broken (as you can see by our blurry pictures) and getting repaired so we will post some later. Merry Christmas everyone!
