The Tree {12 Days of Christmas}

Today I am linking up with Amber and Erin for their #12daysofblogging.  

Day #1 is all about your tree and home decor.  I am so excited about our little house for the holidays this year.  This year we have a ginormous real tree.  There is a funny story behind this little beauty too.  So Ryan and I headed out to the Christmas Tree lot Friday night in search for the perfect tree.  It is the first year that we can get a real sized tree and not a baby tree that sits on an end table.  I was determined to get a 9 foot tree.  So as we are looking in the lot ::while it is what seems like negative 25 degrees outside and raining:: we start talking about why we are outside.  Well it turns out that Ryan thought that I loved real Christmas trees and me the same for him.  I thought that we were getting one because he loved them and I didn't mind doing that if he wanted it.  I was WRONG!  Ryan's family apparently never had a real tree and neither did mine!  We were both getting a real tree for the other.  It is so sweet but definitely not something that we will be keeping up.  LOL.  So I will fully enjoy this gorgeous tree and after the holidays I will search for one on a good sale and have that for many years to come.

The hubby and I crack me up.  We constantly find ourselves doing this and I think it happens more around holidays than any other time.  At least we know that we both do it out of love and consideration for the others' feelings. 

I hope you all enjoy our beautiful tree.  Can't wait to link up tomorrow with our favorite ornament!

p.s.  do not mind that the bottom is empty.  we have a pup pup with a very active tail and don't want things to get ruined by it in all of her excitement! :)

  1. awww, i love that story about you and your husband both thinking you were doing what the other wanted! that is so sweet! i have seen so many trees with the bottom halves empty because of the dogs in the house, that never occurred to me, but makes so much sense!

    1. I know! We are a bunch of silly billies around here! And yes, our little one thinks that her tail is the size of a peanut instead of really the size of a small sword. And last night I caught her nibbling on the tree as well so I'm glad we didn't put anything down low near her. Thanks for letting me be a part of the link up! It is fun!

    1. Thank you! Yes, everything in our house is somewhat rustic. We have a love for the outdoors and trees. We have many prints and other items that are centered around trees and wood. :) I might do a post on those items one day soon :)

    1. Thank you! I found him at Kohl's last year. The days are little doors that open to a little box where you could put candy or a sweet message.
