Well, our Christmas tree is finally up! After a lot of discussion about whether to get an artificial tree or a real one we finally went with the real one! (I voted for real) After tying it to the top of the 4-runner, we brought our first Christmas tree home. We bought 2 strands of lights with 100 bulbs on it two days before we bought the tree, and thought it would be enough. We ended up getting an 8 footer. When I was finished putting them on I was only about 1/3 of the way down! So Erik took a quick trip to Wal-mart and bought one more, needless to say, we took 2 more trips to get the right amount, and there are STILL not enough lights to cover the whole tree, so the bottom layer is going without this year.
As usual, we made a trip to Tai Pan and ending up dropping $85 on ornaments and stockings I had planned on putting back before buying them. Well they made it home and I was sorely disappointed because they are just not what I was looking for, and with Tai pan's return policy we are stuck with them.
These are my two favorite ornaments. We got gold ball ornaments, then fun and jewely red ones.

I love it, it looks so good. I need to get more ornaments for our tree. Trent finally just went and bought one. Yeah!
oh sammy it's way cute, I LOVE your ornaments, I definitely think it's a good thing that you had to keep them. My family was a "real" tree family for years and it was definitely a sore subject when my parents informed us that we were not going to brave the cold and pick out our christmas tree, but rather they'd bought one at a flower shop, us kids seriously threw a fit (we were teenagers), but I haven't had a real one since. We're going to have to come to your house so I can smell your tree and bask in the memories of my youth.
SOOOO CUTE!!! Good job sammy! I LOVE Tai Pan but hate their return policy. I am the queen of returning things and hate that they won't let you. I mean how on earth can you know if something is going to look good in your house before you actually see it? Oh well...life goes on. :) Your tree looks awesome and I can't believe you already have lots of presents! We don't have any yet!
I love your tree, Beautimus
