Oh Christmas Tree Part Two: You really are quite lovely

December 24, 2012 By Courtney

In the midst of all the hub bub I realized I never shared the finished product of the enormous Christmas tree we decided to welcome into our home this year.

While we have this beautiful tree in our great room, we’ve already priced artificial trees of this size for next year, so we don’t have to battle the needles or cleanup. Typical consumer!

It also cracks me up that my husband has already warned me that we have to saw our tree into thirds and push it out the window for when it’s time to come down. Should be eventful to say the least!

Truth is, I love it, it’s just still comical to walk into that room and be greeted with such a monster. At least it smells good! Perhaps I should give that big fella a name?

I wasn’t completely prepared to decorate a tree of this size, but I did the best I could. My family pulled together and brought over extra lights for us to borrow, plus I was able to score some deals on ornaments at Michaels, so it all worked out.

Today is the day where we really get to enjoy it. We host Christmas Eve so now we get to all sit and stare at it, and pose in front and take pictures.

Looking forward to the holiday with family, and enjoying the last Christmas we’ll have with just our little girl. Three weeks from today we’ll be getting ready to welcome her new baby brother!

Merry Christmas everyone, hope your holiday is magical!
