Today we went out and bought our Christmas tree. Since it had rained for two days straight and was below freezing we decided to just get one off a lot somewhere, rather than go cut it down. We had to the same last year and the tree was great. Our family likes the short and full trees. Ceilings aren’t too high in my house, plus its a pain decorating a 7 foot tree when you are 5.5 feet tall.

My father and I put the lights on it after cutting the base and getting to to stay in the tree stand. The next day, my mother, sister, and Jamie put all the decorations on the tree.

After the tree was set, Jamie and I wrapped up our gifts to get a jump start on things. More or less we had nothing better to do, but its fun wrapping gifts.

Check out the tree!

Who put those there already??

Once again another busy week, sorry for the late posts.

Happy Father’s Day to all the father’s out there, hope you had a good weekend two weekends ago. I’m just going to quickly post some pictures from father’s day. Jamie and I got my father tickets to see the Nascar race at Pocono Raceway in August. He just recently became a Nascar fan and has never been to a race so we figured it was a great gift. Pocono is in Pennsylvania, about 2.5 hours away from home, so not a bad ride at all for such a major event.

Aren’t the gifts pretty??
