I insisted we needed a bigger tree than the one we had used in our apartment.
Saturday night, we went to Walmart, and after deeming their trees not quite acceptable since you couldn't see all of them out of the box, we went to Target. Target had the tree we wanted on display, so that was nice.
Sunday, we slept in a little bit and got to work around 10am. We had to move the furniture around a bit first. Penny enjoyed that.
Assembling the tree took an hour or so. Aaron is not a fan of shaping branches. He got better at it as we went along...
After the branches were shaped and the tree was all together, we strung the lights. 600 lights, to be exact. Christmas trees sure do look better with lights on them.
Then it was time to go up in the attic and retrieve all of the Christmas boxes and ornaments. We have so many ornaments already and we've only been married two years. Goodness.
We hung all of the ornaments, pushed the tree back, put the skirt on, and then it was time for Aaron's favorite part: the star.
Ta-da! Our pretty Christmas tree.
Then we decorated the mantle.
And we put out the smoker man.
These Santa figurines are very old. Aaron's grandmother passed them down to us.
Since it's Christmas, I let Aaron bring a couple Vinylmations in the living room. These little guys are from Prep and Landing.
We put up our Nativity, which is also from Aaron's grandma.
And set the Christmas table.
Jonah needed some Christmas cheer too.
And our Gingerbread boy sits in the kitchen.
That's the extent of our indoor Christmas decor. When it's dark, I'll have to take a picture of Aaron's hard work: the icicle lights outside!
Merry Christmas!
