Never Again...Well, Probably Never

So, we finally got our tree this weekend...I feel like we are the very last ones!!  And, let me tell you, while we were getting and setting up said tree, we decided next year, we would get a fake one.  Let me tell you why!

1.  We went to the first tree lot, picked out a tree similar to those we have bought it years past, then looked at the tag and it said $125!!!!!  Seriously?!  We live in WA, where all you see are trees?!  We left.

2.  Looking for a tree in WA is COLD!!  Much colder than L.A, go figure.

3.  This year we got a bigger tree, which meant heavier to carry, more difficult to get in the stand, and practically impossible to move!

4.  It took us 2 hours, to get the tree straight!!  TWO HOURS!!!  We ended up having to buy a bigger stand:(

5.  We had to wait until we all had time to go together to pick up the tree.  If it was artificial, I could have set it up a long time ago!

But, now that our tree is set up it looks beautiful (and smells divine)!  We ended up putting it in the front room because it looked to crowded in our family room.  This meant I had to put white lights on it, to match the rest of the stuff in that room.  So Jordan got her white lights after all:)

I LOVE your tree--and your front room looks so beautiful decorated for Christmas! I think it all might have been worth the trouble :)
