Our Christmas Tree!



Yesterday, Nicholas and I went with a few friends to New Jersey to find a Christmas tree we could cut down. After no luck, a small time-frame, and the illegal nature of cutting down a wild tree (not in a farm) we decided to forgo the whole cut-down-your-own-tree thing. After returning to Ludlow, I decided to go on the hunt for a tree by myself. A few blocks down, at our local market, I found the perfect tree. I convinced myself I could carry the five-foot tree myself…ha! It was really heavy but I did make it. The only downside is that today I woke up with a lot of pain in my arms. Oh well –our tree is worth it!

So today, Nicholas and I headed to Kmart to get some ornaments and here is the end result!

    Put back the old banner…but anyhoo, I love these pictures. They give me the feeling that I am looking at a picture from the 80′s. You two look lovely, but I think some read sweaters really should have been thrown into the mix – HA HA
