The Tree
It's been a solid week of alternately decorating the house and dragging boxes up and down the stairs, but I think we've finally reached a point where we can share a few pictures of our Christmassy house. I have a list of things to do to finish it up--most of them involve scotch tape (we ran out Saturday morning), and most of them, thankfully, involve the basement. No pictures of that yet.
As we expertly dragged our tree inside and set up the stand, I thought, "Hey, this is great, we're old pros at this putting up a tree business!" Then the tree fell down...and fell down again...and fell down again...and by the time we finally had it up for good two hours had gone by and neither of us cared if we ever saw a Christmas tree again! Thankfully, we got over it. More importantly, the tree has not fallen down again.

The tree looks beautiful -- I like the stockings above the fireplace too (I checked Flickr). Merry Christmas!
Do you ever feel like you might need marriage counseling after putting up a Christmas tree?:) The missing scew in our tree stand did not help the effort of making our tree straight - finally Paul resolved himself to drive to Home Depot and pick up another screw. It made all the difference:).
