First Christmas 2008

First Christmas Tree Decorating as a married couple!  Full of Christmas music, lights that stayed lit if one bulb went out, a tree stand designed by idiots and one stubborn, crooked tree.  I LOVE Christmas.

Christmas Card 2009, unless we can find one where Wes is not trying to strangle me.

It was right after this moment that we realized we forgot to put the tree in the bucket of water. 

Wes was shocked that I could reach all the way to the top to put the star on!

Wes had the honors of putting our very first official ornament on the tree marking the year of our marriage. Yay!

Our stubborn tree was dead set on leaning forward, so Mr. Fix-It spent a couple of hours trying to keep the tree straight by nailing fishing line to the wall and attaching it to the trunk.  If you're not careful and bump the tree, a nail may come flying out of the wall into your eyeball.

I know where he got that idea of the fishing line...it works!

I'll be sure that Avery is wearing racquet ball goggles whenever she is around the tree. It looks great though!
