Saturday November 30th we ventured out in search of the perfect Christmas Tree. Charlie Brown was our inspiration due to the small nature of our appartment. We had hoped to purchase a living tree and plant it somewhere after the holiday, but we were unsuccessful in our search. Instead of the usual fields lined with trees ready to be cut down we found a Christmas Tree Circus Tent in "candy-cane alley".
We found a beautiful Noble Fir standing 4.5 feet tall.
Camerin has been collecting ornaments and trimmings for a few months now at local thrift stores and garage sales. We set out all of her findings and determined that the tree would kindof have a red and white theme. The theme was really realized when we found our star-topper (it glows from some of the lights below).
Although the tree is only 4.5 feet tall we had trouble determining how many lights it would need and ended up having to take a second trip to the store to buy lights.
We also found some great plaid fabric at our local craft store for our tree-skirt.
Marty was also very helpful during the tree trimming process!

4.5 feet is pretty generous! I think it is more like 3.5 (or less).
It looks like a very nice tree. Marty was a big help. Zoey is interested in our tree as well. We decorate it tonight...time will tell.
it's so cute!
Hey Camerin and Thomas,
I finally had a chance after receiving your thank you card in November to check out your blog. Wow! You have some incredible pictures! After seeing some of the pictures of your wedding, I wish we could have attended your wedding. Are you going to Warsaw for Christmas? We're staying in Georgia this year so we won't see you this Christmas. Enjoy your first Christmas together. We are so glad you are both doing so well!
God bless,
Katherine and Jason Brown
Merry Christmas!
