christmas prep

Well, Thanksgiving was great and now that it is over--it's time for christmas!!! we got a tree yesterday, and you know what the best part about setting up a live tree as newlyweds is?? clipping the big ol' branches with pliers because we have no yard supplies. it's cool because the little pieces of branches go flying across the room as you finally cut through the other side and your fingers are exploding becasue you have to squeeze the pliars so hard. you see, pliars are not meant to cut tree branches. they are built for wire. So we put colorful lights all over and 10 ornaments, which are mostly cowboy. oh, by the way, our trees name is Doug and he drinks a lot of water. Good tree, he know's it's good to drink water. anyway, we even have a beautiful tree skirt with presents on top. Lovely, Happy holidays
