We went to the Boulder Lake Environmental Learning Center to cut down our tree this year. They have an over-abundance of Balsam Fir trees and needed to thin them out, so we thought this was a great cause. $8 cash, frozen tushes and a 30 minute car ride later we arrived home proud of our find. Went to Home Depot then to Target in search of some cool LED lights and found everything to be pretty picked over so we settled on a multi-colored traditional string of lights. Went to the attic and pulled out the ornaments and then it became apparent... we cut ourselves our very own Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. It looks wretched! We were initially excited since we had a completely new set of decorations thanks to the wonderful gift from Manda's family. Our poor pathetic tree couldn't handle the large ball ornaments (sorry, mom) so our idea to fill all the "gaps" with large ornaments failed horribly. None the less, we have our peacocks and little ball ornaments to get by this year. We get quite the chuckle everytime we're sitting in our living room with our horrible looking tree.

Anna found the comfy spot and was unwilling to move over
Typical. Manda's up and Mikey and Annabelle are still lounging around.
