deckin the halls

Rexburg is now COVERED in snow and it feels like Christmas. Skyler and I decorated the house for Christmas and i am just lovin it. Christmas is just my favorite season.

However getting the house decorated for Christmas was NOT as easy as i thought it would be. First bump in the road, a Christmas tree. I have NEVER in my life had a fake tree, our family LOVES the smell of a real tree and take the trip every year to get one. One year we had a tree that was 18 feet tall i believe? [We had to tie it to the side of our wall so it would not fall over] I have always expected a real tree. Well this year Skyler and i are leaving for 2 weeks to spend Christmas with our families. Besides the fire danger he thought that a real tree would die after all that time. Skyler conveniently WON a fake tree at work and so i settled, but i'm still very sad about the fake. I think i need to buy a Christmas tree scented candle.
Another dilemma was finding a star for the top of our tree. I have always told my mom that when i have my own house i will put a star on the top of the tree, because for so many years my mom put up the same ugly 70's angel. This was not as easy as i thought, Skyler and i circled porter's [the local craft store] a million times and through Christmas display After Christmas display we could not find ONE star to top our Christmas tree, so Skyler made his own...
Even though decorating the house isn't as easy as i had thought, i am so excited to start my Christmas decoration collection. Skyler and i made a "let it snow" sign to always remember our first Christmas together by and i can't wait for many, MANY more!!
