Last year for Christmas, Colin's parents let us use their old Christmas tree. 5' and very very old -some of the branches were pretty worn out (they've had it since Colin was a baby) and it leaned due to the age /wear & tear on the base. But that was ok because we had a tree!
This year, my mom decided since Colin and I are getting married soon- we need a good tree that's going to last us for a long time to come!
Also- this year all of my family is comming to our house for Christmas (eek! my first time doing Christmas!
). Last night she took me to Home Depot and suprised me by getting us a new tree!
I'm soo excited! It's a 7.5'' Yonkers tree (slim). I prefer the fuller trees with a little more girth to them- but since we are putting the tree in the corner of the living room- i picked out the slimmer one as it will fit better!
It was only $69 too- and she had a discount -so i think we wound up with it for $59!
I'm soo excited about the new tree! I can't wait to decorate it!!!!!
I will be giving the other tree to my sister Kimmy for her to use this year! Last year her dog knocked over her tree and killed it
They are moving in January hopefully so there's no need for them to go out and buy a new one until they see the size of the home they're getting and what kind of tree will suite it best- so i'm giving them our old one for this year so everyone has a tree!
Here's a picture of what it looks like. I didn't want a pre-lit one because i want to get my own energy efficient lights to go on there. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...trees-_-732834
All i need now is a tree skirt!
Anyone wanna help me decorate?????
