the christmas tree that almost wasn't

every year we go to the same christmas tree farm to chop down our own christmas tree (and by we i mean i pick it out and david chops it down).  of course the only saturday we had available to pick out our tree it was pouring rain! 
driving out to the noble fir section of the farm

after sloshing around the farm for a while getting soaked we decided that maybe something from their pre-cut selection would be easier.


it was and they had some great freshly cut trees to choose from.  the nice guys that worked there were kind enough to get it all tied to our car even though it was raining.  i think they were just having a slow morning because no one else was dumb enough to try to pick out their tree in the rain.

we got our tree home and now it is finally decorated.  i love christmas and having the tree lit up.


it didn't take quite as much time as i had allotted for decorating, so i finally made one of those ornament wreaths for my front door.  i figure this is a wreath i am not that attached to, so i don't care if it gets ruined in the snow.

kind of dr seuss-y, but hey, it's christmas.
