It's a wonderful thing to bring two people together at Christmas time. Everyone has their own traditions, things they do with their families at special occasions. Sometimes you wonder why we do these crazy things, but now i know, and can pass these traditions on when i have a family.Tonight we got the Christmas tree all set up and decorated it. What a great time. We put on some Christmas music (when we were almost done, but you get the idea) and just decorated the tree. It's kind of nice to be in charge, cause then you don't have to worry about moms (sorry moms) saying it's not good enough or there's too many decorations on this branch or not enough tinsel on this branch. You get to decide. Now we're just sitting here, playing Christmas music, and just hanging out. I'm eating my second dinner, Kristin's working on a Christmas gift. And this is our new tradition. When we decorate the tree, we'll sit around afterwards, sipping hot apple cider, listening to Christmas music, and just relaxing. I can't wait to do this every year for the rest of my life!
Here are some pictures of our tree. They are somewhat blurry, but you don't get the full effect of the lights and everything if the flash goes off. I've got to play with the camera's settings to get everything looking top notch. But i do like the left hand one, very artsy.
(We just realized we took the pictures without the star on top. We don't have a star yet. So just imagine the nicest star you've ever seen.)

It's so cool to read your blogs. It's a side of you Ian that makes me be amazed of who you are and what a wonderful life you'll have together. I love Christmas and the traditions. Bless you. Fran
Sweet tree.
Hunter asked if he could eat it?
Hunter,
You are welcome to eat our tree. However we are not responsible for any subsequent pain, bleeding of the mouth and gums, crying, anger, stomach aches, or constipation. You know what? No, don't eat our tree. Silly boy.
