Christmas fun!

decorating our mini-tree

ok, so we've always gotten a real tree each year, but last year my mother-in-law found a steal on a "6 ft pre-lit christmas tree" for only $5!! Well, we couldn't pass it up, so we bought it and opted to use this tree instead of buying a live one. We couldn't quit laughing once we got it up because it's SO tiny! Not sure if we'll be using it again next year for our main tree, but may find a perfect little nook for our new favorite charlie brown tree.

it's a tradition to do the mayor's tree lighting and christmas parade each year with some of my favorite people: cassie, kristin, freddie and sweet sophie!
