Our First Christmas Tree

On Saturday we set out to find a small, cheap Christmas tree (a Charlie Brown tree). Good thing we had a gift card to Tony's Grove Nursery and they had poor people trees outside in a lonely corner. We found the one just for us and brought it home, tied to the top of the car. In Bob's excitement to get it off, he stabbed himself in the hand with his pocketknife. The tree was abandoned for a moment while my fabulous first aid skills kept Bob from bleeding to death. After filling the stand and adjusting the angle, we had a tree to look at.


Bob headed off to work and I put the lights on. I am very particular about these kinds of things and I didn't trust Bob to do it my way :) Sunday night, we officially trimmed the tree with ornaments from our pasts. We had a good time sharing the memories associated with them.

Yay for our first Christmas!
