Tree GroundsStopped into a local Christmas Tree tent last Friday and picked up a friendly 4 footer to decorate our humble abode.Rhiannon is big on all things December 25th, so I'm going the extra mile and taking part in all the festivities.Friends and family don't exactly know what to make of this transformation...
Inside Holiday HillsSo I learned a lot about Christmas trees in my single visit to the Tree Farm. They truly come in all shapes and sizes... we settled on a 4 foot spruce that we have named "Jamicahel".
Rhiannon VS. Tree StandOne of the biggest regrets I made this year was not plunking down 30 dollars at the tree farm for their recommended Tree Stand.The one we picked up - retailed for 8 bucks, but it used a series of 8 long screws that took forever to adjust into the tree.The one offered by the farm - had a bigger bowl for water, a much more stable base and it used a single screw to allows you to easily set the tree in for display.Needless to say, its the first thing I buy next year...
Amos VS. Ornaments Amos is not big on having a Christmas tree in the house. He managed to knock it down the second night we had it up in the house and he broke the Star that sits atop...Rhiannon still hasn't forgiven him and that happened over 72 hours ago.
Lil' ArbolWe originally planned to set up a real tree on the new dining room table and we quickly realized that it wouldn't work for having people over for dinner or board games...We settled on this little guy for our holiday table display.
R is Where the Heart IsThere it is boys and girls. Our first ever tree...
