Well, we finally got our tree all finished (I guess I finished it in the wee hours of the night last night). This year our tree came from Eastern Washington near Sun Mountain Lodge. Dad got it for us when he was over there this past weekend. We are totally spoiled because for most of my life we have always had Noble Firs for our Christmas tree. Gary was always able to go up past Weyerhauser in the "hills" and get them for all of us. However, this year marked the end of that tradition. So, dad got some forest service permits and went out looking with Alicia. I'm really liking our Noble...which is a different type than the Nobles we are used to. Its a little more lacy, full of little branches and more alpine-y. It smells like the alpine as well. Because the branches are more petite and plentiful....it was kind of pain to put the lights on. But...I think it looks really nice all lit up!
Grayson putting up an ornament from his first Christmas. I really like how the lights look here!
This photo doesn't do it justice...the lights are barely showing. But thats as good as it will get!
