Carli and I bought a house this past summer - yeah, yeah, I’ve not written much about it yet, but I will, promise! Anyhow, seeing as this is our first Christmas in the new house we thought it would be nice to have a real live tree too.

Our tree

So with some help from friend, Timmy & Julie, we went out and chopped down our own tree at a real Christmas Tree Farm. Yes, we actually cut the tree down with our own hands... well, our hands and a saw.

Anyhow, that big green bush-looking-thing to the left is our tree. Well, technically that’s an ornament with a picture or our tree, on our tree. :) Nice, right?

Lighting the tree

Carli had planned to decorate the tree with some really nice LED lights we bough, and some garland and classy looking ornaments. But much to her surprise my buddies, Bryan and Timmy, and I took it upon ourselves to decorate it while she was out with her girlfriends.

As you might imagine, my buddies and I have a different sense of style than Carli. I think PBR, Budweiser, and Old Milwaukee cans are perfectly fine decorations, aren’t they?

Don’t worry, the next morning I realized we weren’t in college anymore so I took the beer cans off the tree.

Now we just need some gifts to fill the void under the tree and we’ll be all set.
