We went and got our Christmas Tree this past weekend. I looked up places we could go to cut our own tree and found one about a ten minute drive away from us. Not only was it close to us but it had any tree for $45 which seemed like a good deal compared with other places I had checked which had trees starting at $60. I was excited to pick a big tree this year since in the past four years we have had fairly small trees. This year we got an 8 1/2 foot tree. Once we had it home we realized we could not get it through the sliding glass door even with the wrapping on it. Fortunately the windows on the sun room are quite large and we brought it into the house that way. We got the tree into the stand and took the wrapping off the tree and Jason put the lights on the tree. We gathered up all the ornaments and started decorating the tree later in the afternoon when the tree had settled. We have a LOT of ornaments. Between all the ornaments we had stored in my parent's basement and all the ornaments we bought in Prague and at Christmas Markets in Europe as well as all of Jason's childhood ornaments we filled our tree.
We ended up not putting a lot of the basic balls on that we had originally bought in Prague as filler (since we hadn't brought any ornaments with us) because there just wasn't any space left.
