Our Little Tree

Our little tree has been up for almost two weeks now. November 30th was the day, I believe. By the time we picked it out and loaded it in the truck, Morgan's nose looked like Rudolph's. Once we got home, it took Jared almost an hour to get our Christmas bins out of storage in the rafters above our garage. Bless his soul. I stood beside him holding our rickety old ladder while shivering (our garage is freezing) and squealing with excitement. Opening Christmas bins is seriously almost as exciting for me as Christmas day. Almost.

We spent the rest of the evening watching Christmas movies and decorating and drinking marshmallow hot chocolate in our Christmas mugs we received at our Christmas-themed wedding four years ago.

Here are some pictures from the evening we picked out our tree.
