O Christmas Tree

Brad surprised me last weekend by coming home (after spoiling me with his presence all of Thanksgiving!) for the night on Saturday and heading back to Havelock on Sunday.

One day is so worth it.

Saturday night we had dinner with three lovely couples. Two of which Brad helped to build a barn for a few months back (they had dinner for all of us). Very delicious food, great fellowship and a game of Taboo (which our team won at by the way!).

Sunday mid-morning we went out to a Christmas Tree Farm and picked out our very own first Christmas tree as a married couple! We also brought Oscar along to help in the selection process, of course.

It was fun going out to pick our tree, bring it home and decorate it together while listening to Christmas music! One trick we did this year was using icicle lights once our two strands of regular clear ones didn't quite make our tree glow properly. :)

This Christmas was so great and I'm glad we got to spend it together and with each of our families. Here are some pictures of this season!
