Our first tree as a family!
After checking out a few other places earlier in the week, Tim finally decided on one that he thought was up to snuff. Believe it or not, it's from Ikea. It was only $20 and it came with a $20 coupon so I'd say that was a pretty sweet deal. Especially considering Tim saw ones for $45 which weren't half as nice. So after running around to get the tree as well as a stand it was pretty late and we had to get Callum to bed, soooo we thought we'd let it stay bare until tonight. Maybe even tomorrow. We still need to hunt for decorations! Lights, a tree skirt, maybe a nice red blanket to lay on the bottom. (Ugh! SO many needles!) I have gotten some filler balls but I'm looking forward to finding some keepsake ornaments. Especially a tree topper. Believe it or not, I've NEVER had a real Christmas tree before so this is kinda all new territory for me. The smell of a real tree is pretty unbelievable. It smells so nice and I swear the air feels fresher but I also have had a headache all day and I'm wondering if the tree has anything to do with it!
I'll post more pics at various stages of tree decoration soon!
