We usually go the day after Thanksgiving and get our tree, but Bill's parents had come to visit us for Thanksgiving and yesterday was their last day. So we waited until Saturday and got our tree locally instead of from the tree farm like we have the past couple of years. Alabama trees just aren't the same as real northern Christmas trees. This year, we purchased ourselves a nice, Michigan Douglas Fir. The house smells amazing with the scent of Christmas! This is the best part of the year! I love getting out all of our Christmas decorations and decorating the tree and house. Below are pictures of each of the boys with their Christmas ball they received the year they were born. We have one ball for each year Bill and I have been married, starting with 2001. So far, we have 17 yearly family Christmas ornaments! Bill did an amazing job of putting out the lights this year. Last year, the bulbs kept blowing and tripping the breaker, but he figured it out this year and it looks fantastic! (I will have to get a picture of our house for a later post.) Inside and outside, we are ready for Christmas!
