O Christmas Tree....

So...after no deliberation at all, Alli and I went and picked out our REAL Christmas tree this weekend. A lot of our friends have fake ones...BLAH! Anyway, even though we got it at Home Depot instead of a New England tree farm, it was lots of fun:-)

Now seeing as how we both have dad's with trucks, we have never had to do this whole tie-down thing. It was a new experience, but the tree made it the one-mile drive down the road with no problems.

Now...our eventful day did not end with picking out the tree and driving it home. We obviously did not have a tree stand and apparently the first three stores we went to didn't either! Here is our first stop (Home Depot) where I may have been distracted by this really creepy looking Santa. Two more stores and then we finally found one at Lowes...$20! You may say "Not bad", but being two girls that have always just been able to walk down into the basement and get the FREE tree stand that their parents purchased years ago, it was a little shock.

Here I am...being handy:-) Just like Dad taught me!

Lights!!!
