Our first Christmas Tree

This Christmas is mine and Buck's first Christmas together being married, and believe it or not, my first real tree ever! (Well, me and my old roommates had a real tree, but I mean my own) We always had a fake one growing up. We went and picked one out after we got home tonight and I love it!! It smells so good, he's totally converted me to real trees. We had to pick a medium/small one because of the lack of space in our apt but it's alright, it turned out just right.
I even baked Christmas tree cookies to celebrate! Ha ha (the really good pre-made ones, you just throw 'em in the oven) Best ever
You know me, always have to pose, so here we are with our decorated tree :)


I thought it turned out perfect. I do have to confess that we pulled a Heather and grabbed the clear lights with the white cord...which doesn't exactly blend well. So we had to run back to Target to trade them and I thought of you Heather! :)
It finally feels somewhat like Christmas. (Just need the snow now)

Awww....I love your tree. Its perfect. I like the ornaments, it looks really good. Thanks for making me feel like not the only retarded one when it comes to lights. haha. Don't worry about the snow part, ALL next week we are having a huge snow storm so I think we will have plenty, and we all need to go sledding when that happens :) Good work!

Your tree is super cute! How was the Christmas party? We need to do something soon. It feels like it's been forever. :( (And I guess by forever we're really only talking a few weeks. But still!)

I love having a real tree too. The first Christmas together is so fun. When you get to start making your own traditions as a couple. I love your silver and blue ornaments, way cute.
