Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Saturday we went down the road where the Boy Scouts sell Christmas trees, shipped fresh from Pennsylvania (aahh, makes you "pine" for the days in Alaska where you just walked out into the woods and cut down your own....and then burned it on New Years in a giant bonfire!!).
We picked a great tree together, with the sun shining all around (no snow!) and Brent and kids walked it home while I drove by them with the Christmas carols blasting on the radio:)

In a whirlwind of excitement, before I even had a chance to attempt any design plan, the tree was decorated and the living room was lit up like the fourth of July....the kids had a blast (I think Brent thought it was pretty cool too).

"Merry Merry Happy Happy" everyone!
(quoted from Carolyn Colton--one of our great friends here in MD)

love the tree and the lights! Hey we burned our trees on the edge of the road (in town - Eastern Washington/Idaho border...;-)), too, and without fail each year discovered a missing (now burned) hidden ornament. Keep the photos and updates coming!
