of christmas tree

Our christmas season officially began yesterday when we brought our Christmas tree. We were inspired by Simon's sister Michelle and her family's real tree, so on the way home from their house yesterday we called by a Christmas tree-farm. In true "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" style, we stomped through the paddock to find the perfect tree, with measuring pole & saw in hand. Our tree is currently sitting in a bucket of water on the back porch waiting to be decorated...

Now to find some inspiration for christmas tree decorations...!
