We had a moment a few weeks ago... it was the, "Holy crap, we're adults" moment. This happened when we drove to a lot, bought our very own tree, hurled it on top of the car, lugged it inside, wrapped tiny lights around it, and hung glittery balls from its branches. This shouldnt be anything new, being as this is our second Christmas together as a married couple... However, last year, living on the top floor of our apartment complex, and being ridiculously busy with multiple jobs, and school..... we didnt get a tree. We did have a nice tree scented candle though. So that helped. But THIS YEAR! We did not wimp out. No, no, no. In fact, Spencer was so thrilled with his "Im a man" moment, that he insisted I document it. This is rarely done. So I am very excited to share with out our Adult Evening.
This is our Tree, its a miracle it fit on top of our car! But we were prepared with blankets, and tie downs.
Once we brought it inside and filled the tree stand with sugar water, which the hubs is convinced that makes the tree stay alive for a really really long time, it looked like this:
YAY!! how exciting! Now from here on out was my favorite part. I was brainwashed by my mother in thinking that having 5-8 light strands on one tree is perfectly fine.. in fact, its normal. Ha. Well I was wrong. Spencer only let us have 3.... and he still thinks thats a lot. (he'll come around eventually) So this is our finished tree. All lit up and decorated!! With the stockings made by my dear mama-in-law!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
