25 Days of Christmas - Day 1: Christmas Tree

Unfortunately, I won't be doing up the house in the normal fashion this year, since we're in the middle of trying to sell our house and most of our stuff is packed up.  But, there's no way we're going without a tree!  We got rid of the ones we had last year while we were packing, because our new house has a high, vaulted ceiling in the living room, and the hubs promised me a new, taller tree.

At the time, we had thought that we might be in our house by Christmas.  However, we've added a few projects since then that's pushed our move in date up a few weeks, leaving us treeless.

So today, I packed up the babies, and headed to the store.  We found a decent priced, smaller Christmas tree, and was in and out in about 20 minutes, surprisingly. Then we headed home to get to work!

Putting up the tree:

Who doesn't love some deco mesh?




The overseer.




A kiss for the boss lady.




And, of course, some last minute fussing.




Tada!




All ready for some ornaments.  Let's hope I can find them among all the moving boxes!
