Getting Into The Holiday Spirit - Our First "Real" Tree

And of course by "Real" I totally mean fake!

This is our first year in our new house, our first holiday season as a married couple and our first "real" (as in not a dinky little condo sized tree) 7ft Xmas Tree!

I will admit I pushed hubby to get it because xmas is still kinda new to me (I had never celebrated before meeting him) and wanted our first year in the house to feel festive. We had some gift certificates left over from the wedding so they went to good use :)

We brought it home and the hubs took over..... yup he did everything from fluffing each branch to putting it together to stringing the lights to decorating it! He was very particular about the way he wanted it and I was totally fine with him doing it.

We (he) started off putting each branch in which took a while but wasn't so bad.

Its never been the joy of putting it together for me I just like seeing the end result!

Speaking of end results.... Here is our very first "real but fake" tree decorated in bronze :)

I'm looking forward to placing presents under our very own tree :) Perhaps Scott will read this and get me some of the items on my wish list ;)

Have you put up your tree yet? Do you have a "theme" this year?

Happy Holidays!
