Our first tree

This is our third holiday season as a married couple, yet it's the first one that we've actually decided to have a Christmas tree. Maybe that's why I've been anticipating this season so much. Today was the day we set up our miniature tree. Cute, huh?

We topped off the evening with Marble Slab; not the traditional eggnog or hot chocolate but delicious!

I can't believe you broke the no-decorating-for-christmas-before-thanksgiving rule!

See, I like to look at it as being late: this is our first tree, so really, I'm about 1 year and 47 weeks late....or something like that! =)

I think the problem was that I actually bought the tree while it was on sale about 2 weeks ago. I should have put it in a closet or something so that I couldn't even think about it, but I left it out in the corner of the living room, begging to be opened and decorated. The tree won.

I CANNOT believe you didn't have a Christmas tree your first two years of marriage. What planet are you from? How can you call yourself a Christmas celebrator?

I know! So, see, I'm just making up for the lost time those first two years we didn't have one! =)

This is the first year we aren't leaving the afternoon school dismisses and coming back the day before, so we felt we would actually be around to enjoy a tree.
