O Christmas Tree

So it's Christmas time in case you weren't aware & that means you need to get a Christmas tree!! And so that's what I did! Here the story....So on Saturday we headed out & about to check out some tree lots. I'm very particular (big surprise I know) about my tree so it took awhile to find just the right tree & one at just the right price. Times are tough so i can't be spending all my monies on a tree! at the third lot I finally found the one. Then comes the question of how we're going to get said tree back to our apartment. I don't own a truck & neither does my roommate. All we had was Keifer.

So this is what we did


That's right we shoved it in the trunk!! what of it?!


The drive back to our apartment took awhile cuz Matty only drove about 30 MPH since everyone time we stopped the trunk lid would slam down on our beloved tree. we can't be having that! when we finally got home we took our tree into the garage to get the stand put on him. It was quite the project




Notice how Chalise is just clowning around while me & Matty are doing real work!!




I love how Matty is kneeling on his gloves!!



I love my tree!!



After we got him in his stand we took him inside & started stringing the lights






We thought we were so clever by stringing the lights all around the tree & then putting in in the corner where it was going to sit. Good plan right? well when you do that you should really keep track of the starter plug that you're gonna plug into the wall. We didn't so much do that so when it was in place we couldn't find it. Under the tree I went in an attempt to locate it.



I looked & looked for that blasted plug all up under the tree with no luck. Eventually Joelyn found it.....in the front of the tree...right in front of our faces. I was stuck under the tree & Chalise pretty much had to drag me out. Too bad we didn't get a picture of that!!

Then we started decorating




Here he is all dressed up!!!



It's Christmas time! Let the stress begin!!!
