It's official: Christmas is a comin!

So we decided that in order to celebrate Christmas the correct way, we needed a real tree!  I have grown up using the fake ones, so i decided to start our first Christmas together doing it right!
(we didn't have any rope so i decided to try my strength...it was a bit cold that way)

 It was tough to find the right color of lights. i think we checked 4 places with no luck until we finally got the red and white we wanted!
At first, Carly didn't want to use the Hat on top(she thinks Christmas is not supposed to be supporting Santa). but i convinced her that the hat was worn by me when i was born, so it is supporting me, not Santa! ha ha.  I think this will be a new tradition instead of the star.
