The stockings were hung ...
























So, even though we don't have a tree we still decorated, and it turns out we didn't have room for a tree anyway. Thanks to my mom who made the stockings and gave us the angel candle holders, and Starbucks where I got most of the other decorations for free we have a lovely little wonderland.

Christmas Tree

After 2 years of living in Wisconsin we leave to go get a Christmas tree. Luther doned in his leather coat and jeans and me in my jeans and puffy winter coat. It's 10 degrees outside and were dressed as if we are in Washington. Keep in mind that when it's 10 degrees here if there is any wind it's negative degree weather. After driving over an hour trying to find the tree farm when it should have taken a half hour (awsome directions mapquest.) We stand by the fire to get warm after walking from the parking lot to the building a total on maybe 30 seconds; a family clearly from Wisconsin wizes past us in there snow suits ready for there horse drawn carrage and tree selection. Needless to say it was so cold and we were so under dressed we watch the carriage ride from afar and left after only about 15 min. So we still don't have a tree, but were hoping next year we'll have more success. Looking back it would have been difficult to cut a tree given all the snow on them, though it was beautiful and it looked like a Christmas card.
