Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

So Kyle and I decided it was time to go pick out a Christmas tree. We wanted to go cut a fresh one down last weekend but we had to do our family Thanksgiving instead. So we drove down to the end of our street and went searching. After many rounds through all the trees, I finally found the one that spoke out to me. lol. It was marked $39.99 (which by the way is so much cheaper than what we ever paid in FL for a tree). Well, the person I am, I negotiated and we settled and bought the tree for $29.99. Here are some pictures....
So we got it home and had many words about this lovely tree. For the life of us, we could not make it stand straight in the tree stand. Don't worry Kyle...Life goes on, haha, and we finally GOT IT!
So I bought the lights with white wire which is so not allowed on a green tree. I also did not buy enough so we had to make a late night run to Walgreens for more lights. This quick tree event turned into an all nighter. But I was very excited to top the tree with my Precious Moments angel.
I know its cheesy, but from the time I was little I have always liked Precious Moments so last year I went and stole all moms ornaments and I found her as the tree topper.

I think the tree ended up so dang pretty. I love the red, green, and white lights. Thanks Kyle for putting up with me:)

So Kyle had a WONDERFUL time trying to put lights up. hahahahahaha. This is the first time we have had a house so I wanted lights of course. Well, I once again didn't buy enought lights so half way through the process.....another trip to Walgreens. Man, that place loves us. They do look wonderful though and it feels like Christmas now in our home.

P.S. It did snow today which was so fun to see. This will be my very 1st cold, maybe White christmas of my whole life. Wahoooo, I will try not to start anymore fires :)

Merry Christmas everyone!!
