Yay! A Real Christmas Tree This Year!

Felipe's new 2011 Ornament - Glitter Santa


Glitter Santa's friend, Glitter Snowman

Felipe and I decided that this year we were going to get a real tree! This is my first real tree in about 10 years and his 2nd real tree ever! So after work we stopped by one of the tree stands on the upper west side and picked out our first ever real christmas tree together. We carried it home (I held the top part, while he held the trunk) and put the Christmas music on and trimmed the tree. We don't have space in our apartment for a large 6 or 7 foot tree, so this one is about 4 feet, and to give the illusion that we've got a larger tree, we set it on top of a side table. Here it is!


I really enjoy sitting on the couch looking at it. And the smell is terrific!

One of my other favorite things about having a real tree, are the fantastic shadows that the lights and the branches cause to fall on the wall. Just beautiful!
