O Christmas Tree, 2014

This is one of my most favorite traditions that Jesse introduced to me as a newly married couple, a real Christmas tree. I have nothing against fake trees, there is just something very fun about picking out your tree and how each year your tree looks a little different. The pine needles I could do without, but it's worth it.

                         The winner! Nothing like picking out a Christmas tree in 70 degree weather :)

                                                                Bringing "her" home.

                                                  Time to decorate it and make it ours.

I was really worried about Emerson wanting to destroy our tree and breaking ornaments, so we made sure to only put non-breakable ones on this year. But really, he has done well when we tell him not to touch it, so it hasn't been much of an issue. He loves to get real close and look at the lights : )
