Saturday afternoon we went out and brought home our tree!

I was so excited to start really decorating for the holidays. Bug had already gotten our "Box of Decor" out the weekend before and put our red berry wreath upon our door, but I'm really not in the holiday spirit until the tree is up and decorated.

We went out to Jerry's, a local home improvement/hardware/lumber store and picked out a 5 foot douglas fir. It's much narrower and shorter than last year's tree, but that's okay, because we had to absolutely wrestle that tree IN and OUT of the house. I even had to cut part of the top off so the star would fit on top!

This one fits much better, and even holds all of our ornaments, so we're really pleased. Tomorrow I will post photos of the decorated tree...
