I posted the other day about how @flowerbaby and I finally put up our very first Christmas tree together. This will be our third Christmas together, so it took a while to finally get a tree. All thanks to her of course.
In that first post, I mentioned that we needed a tree skirt to finish the job. We went to the store to look for one and of course, found some more ornaments to use so the tree wouldn't have any bare spots. While browsing the massive selection of decorations, we eventually stumbled upon the tree skirt sections. The cheapest was an ugly red felt one for $5. That wasn't going to work and we ended up going with a soft velvet red skirt with shiny sequins scattered evenly throughout it. This one actually matches the stockings that we hung on the wall very well.
When we got home @flowerbaby placed all of the ornaments in the spots that needed some decorating. Then, we decided it was time for us to take photos of each other/together with the tree. I'm sure these won't be the only Christmas photos we take this year, but they are certainly the first.
We always have fun taking photos together, especially when we get to do it in the comfort of our own little home. We can be silly and serious and sometimes a mixture of both. As you will notice in the results of our photo session.
My favorite of the bunch has to be the three photos of @flowerbaby sitting cross-legged in front of the tree. She makes a serious face, a silly face, and a normal smile. All of which I love equally.
The day after Thanksgiving is when most people will take the time to put up their Christmas trees. Luckily for us, that task is already completed and we get to enjoy the holiday decorations for even longer than most people.
Christmas will be here before we know it. Although I'm not huge on gift-giving or any made-up stories about Christmas, I do enjoy getting to spend time with my family and eating good food together.
I look forward to sharing some more family stories and photos in the future. I hope you enjoy whatever I happen to post in the future. Thanks for checking out some of my photos today and I'll see you tomorrow in my next post.
