Well this is a Christmas season that I will never forget. Steven and I have been married for 7 years and it was the first Christmas we bought and decorated a tree. I know you all must be thinking what a scrooge! Until this year we had always gone home for Christmas. I just couldn't justify decorating for a week.
I have lugged 4 Christmas boxes around for the last 7 years thinking that I had a ton of decoration . . . boy was I wrong. I have a beautiful Nativity and dang cute stockings but other than that everything is from the $1 store! After we were done putting everything out Addyson asked, "can we decorate tomorrow?". Thats when I had to break the news that this was all we had!!!
Finding the perfect tree is hard work . . . do you know how expensive they are?
If you look close at Steve's finger he is pointing at his empty pockets. Yeah I got the tree I wanted!
We made my parents get out of bed to help us out. It is more than a 2 man job!
It looks great and there is nothing like the feel of the Christmas season. We feel that we have so much to be thankful for.

What an amazing tree. Tell Steve to stop being such a Scrooge. Always thinking about his pocket book. Can't wait for you guys to come to blessed Zion for Christmas.
Ooh fluffy tree! I hope it's up for us to see when we come down for New Years.
I love that when you finally blog-you post like 10 things!! The holidays look pretty fun and festive in the not-so-small city of Visalia.
