Our Christmas Tree

Yesterday we got a real Christmas tree for the first time! This is the first year we are staying home for Christmas…so we decided to get a lovely Noble Fir. (Alex really wanted this kind and not a Douglas Fir.)

Here it is before we decorated it.

With just the lights.

And finally, with ornaments and the origami star  on top that Alex made four years ago.

It is just beautiful and it smells so good whenever we walk into the house. At first I thought it was a good tree – but I wasn’t sure it was great. After decorating it, however, I really love it and am glad Alex pushed for us to get it. Let the Christmas season begin! We are ready :)
