Oh, Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Today was a perfect day to go Christmas tree hunting! There was a light snow this morning that melted away into a bright sun shinny day. We bundled up and headed for our local grocery/department store. We are going to make a family tradition to shop for our Christmas tree the weekend of our wedding anniversary. Tomorrow will be our 6th year of happily wedded bliss! We got in the store and went through the rows of poinsettias....and past the fake Christmas trees.
We stopped to listen to a brass ensemble playing beautiful Christmas carols.

Mary was mesmerized.

Finally, to the lot and picked the perfect tree, tall and fluffy. Mmmm love that pine scent!




Rich stuffed it in the trunk of our car for a short ride home.



We set it up and Mary just loved it!



We started putting on the decorations...


This one is our new one for this year. I laugh every time I look at it. It is so whimsical and fun! Mary loves the Mickey Mouse show, so that is what inspired me to get it.



Here she is taking a closer look.



We received this as a wedding gift and graces our tree each year!


It is so great to have an anniversary at this time of the year. So magical and fun. It was a little hectic planning our wedding during the holidays but we sure are glad we did. Every place we go to celebrate our anniversary is decorated so beautiful for Christmas and it brings back so many wonderful memories of our special day!
