Our Tree

We finally made it out to find a tree once we arrived in Virginia on the 20th. There were only about ten trees left in the tree lot. So, we selected this special Christmas tree. She leaned a bit to one side, but John assured us it gave her character (that same character caused her to topple over when I was dedecorating the tree). 

Decorating with so many ornaments filled with special memories. 

The finishing touch is always the spider that my mother made for the tree. Look closely and you can see the little silver spider. 

We had a nice evening of tree decorating. Even if it was a last minute tree purchase this year. 

Home for the Holidays

We are all in Virginia Beach for the holiday break. That meant that we needed to buy a Christmas tree and decorate it. We searched for one and finally found a tree lot that had about ten trees left. We selected our tree and came home to decorate it. Our sweet tree is really making it feel like Christmas around here. 

Tree

We got a great little Christmas tree from a local nursery on Sunday morning and we got to work decorating it on Sunday night! 

I keep our ornaments in various shoe boxes. They aren't perfectly arranged but they stay secure once neatly and tightly packed away.
