OH Christmas tree, OH Christmas Tree....

Yay! We finally got our Christmas Tee! Unfortunately this year we were not able to go up in the mountian to cut a tree, but our trip to home depot was ALMOST just as exciting! I found that if I walked in between the tightly packed rows of Christmas trees in the lot (where I wasn't supposed to be) I felt just like i was in a real forest! A very, very orderly forest, where the trees grow in order from smallest to largest and grouped themselves according to type! Anyway, this year Jentry and I decided to go against the stereotype that bigger is better, and we picked the smallest little tree we could find! It was a marvelous idea because we didn't have to worry about tying the tree to the top of our car, we just stuffed it in the trunk! We also didn't have to worry about chopping any of it off to fit through our front door! And it suits us just perfectly :)
Here it is, our petit Christmas tree!



Jentry, is so good to me...he did all the hard stuff like cutting of the bottom branches so we could water the tree and then stringing all the lights on the tree ! (I had attempted the latter, which did not turn out well!!!)


Me and my little Christmas tree! See how cute we are together? I loved it because it was so easy to decorate, no hard to reach spots at all!


The tree turned out to be a beautiful little christmas tree, full of light, to help remind us that Christmas is about light, the light of Christ, and about filling our lives with the light of Christ and Sharing it with others, no matter how big or SMALL we may be

Very cute little Christmas tree. Our tree is little to fit my size too. I love being able to reach the top!
