Usually on the day after Thanksgiving my mom, Heidi and I wake up early and go on the hunt for all the wonderful "Black Friday" deals. This year however Heidi was out of town and my mom was visiting my sister who lives about two hours away. During Thanksgiving dinner, I happened to mention how I was on my own this year when my husband surprisingly said he might want to come along. My response... "Really!! you want to wake up at 5:00am, fight the crowds, in the rain and go shopping with me!!" Well I thought, this might be fun. We had talked about purchasing an artificial tree this year and there were so many GREAT deals out there. So the plan was set. I don't want to say we didn't have fun, but I don't think Alex will be coming along next year. After going to four stores and unsuccessfully finding the perfect tree, he was ready to go home. I of course was just getting started. With a promise of one last store we finally did it...we found the perfect tree. I don't think Alex was ever so happy to be headed home. The tree went up with ease and we were all in the Christmas spirit.
With my beautiful new tree up and twinkling, I was ready to decorate the rest of the house. I'll just share a few photos with you so that you can experience Christmas at my house.
I hope you enjoyed my little tour. I have a few more finishing touches to add so stop back soon for a little visit.
