Merry Christmas
It's our first tree!  Christian insisted we find a tree that was taller than himself.  We just didn't realize how big it would be once all the limbs relaxed.  I guess it's a good thing the tree is large though so all of our ornaments can fit.  Lucky me, no one else was interested in my Grandma Louise's old Christmas things.  I had been collecting my own Christmas decorations for a little while and the colors I had chosen were red and turquoise, which just so happened to be the same colors my Grandma had chosen years and years ago.
