How was your weekend? Have you been busy Christmas shopping and decorating? We had a wonderful time in the mountains although I had a sore throat and was a bit under the weather. I feel better now and am ready to roll my sleeves up and tackle a few holiday projects. This is the tree we chose. Last night we added lights and hopefully tonight we will decorate it together when our son returns from Boston. (Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts/prayers, by the way.)
My husband pulled all of the the Christmas decorations out of the attic yesterday so there is lots to do. This year I made a deal with myself to keep it simple. I am using boxwood, magnolia, and paperwhites and calling it a day. Stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect tree, Rene! I'm just starting my decorating too and hopefully I can keep it simple ~ I love boxwood too so I may have to head outside and cut some for decorating!

Looks like the perfect tree! We cut down our tree this weekend, too. Can't wait to see yours all decked out.
ReplyDeleteLove these fun seasonal shots!
ReplyDeleteI love that this is one of your family traditions! How fun. We go the live route too but we've never gone to live tree farm and cut one down. Hope your son had a great time this weekend - at least there was nice weather up here!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love the tree you picked out! We've have definitely been busy decorating and shopping! I can't believe Christmas is so close!
ReplyDeleteGlad you will all be together. One of my favorite memories growing up was picking out our tree.
ReplyDeleteWow! I have never been to a tree farm! That is beautiful and a lot larger than I would have imagined.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend the day..beautiful farm, and tree! I can't wait to see it all dressed up! :D
ReplyDeleteHave fun decortating the beautiful tree. Make sure to share pictures! Glad your feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and a great one of you, Rene! That is a beautiful tree. Growing up we always decorated ours as a family together and it was a special time. Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI know you will knock it out of the park......you have the talent :). Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteThe first pic makes me wish we did go out and cut our own tree..gorgeous landscape. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI guess I've never seen a Christmas tree farm before...that looks very cool...can't wait to see your paper whites, magnolia leaves and boxwood...sounds beautiful already!
ReplyDeleteYou may have felt under the weather, but you look like awesome in that picture!
ReplyDeleteThe scenery is beautiful as is your tree. I'm also a little under the weather as well with a sore throat but hoping to be back in shape soon. My brother and I both grew up swimming. He continued into college as well, so swimming is in our blood. Very exciting for your son and his team. Hope they did well!
