Behold! Mine and Steven's PERFECT Christmas Tree!!! Love, Love, Love!!! It is perfect because A) It is our first Christmas Tree, and B) I have so many beautiful ornaments from my ornament shower that it really is fabulous!
Maybe everyone thinks their first tree is perfect regardless of what it really looks like. I have seen pictures of my parent's first Christmas Tree...extremely twig-like with red apple and heart foam ornaments. My mom said they sat and stared at it all night just marveling over how beautiful it was!
Yesterday Steven and I went to Lowe's to get our tree. Yes, I was the annoying girl with the camera trying to capture this special moment while Steven acted like an 8th grader whose mom was embarrassing him. I'm trying to get a shot of us and he is looking around to see who is watching! If I saw a young couple taking a picture with a Christmas Tree, I would assume it was their first Christmas, and think it was sweet! Needless to say, I got a bunch of crappy smile pictures that I won't ever do anything with. Oh well.
One thing that really seems to happen when you're newly married is figuring out whose way you are going to do things. All families do holiday things different, and each person wants to do them the way their family has always done them! Steven starts putting on the lights and he is just throwing them around as quickly as possible. It has been years and years since he has had to put lights on a real Christmas Tree. I on the other hand spent all of my years at home with a real Christmas Tree, and have a very distinct in and out, wrap around pattern to make the lights look their best! Needless to say, I took over the light task while Steven watched football...Not while we listened to Christmas Music (another tradition I love that Steven doesn't!)
Afterwards we decorated the tree, set up our snow village, and today I will work on the outside of the house! Wreaths on all of the windows! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!! Next task...presents under the tree!!
