Picking out the perfect tree

This Christmas is going to be a little different for us, we're not going home to Utah, we're mid-move (across the country) and so, we thought we at least needed to make it feel as much like Christmas as we could.  Of course, it all starts with the perfect Christmas tree.  We typically go to Home Depot to get our tree, it's a good price and they always have great selection.  But, this year we decided to support a local tree farm just a mile from our house.  It was really cold, but we ended up finding a beautiful little tree.

Once we got home and set it on the tree stand, Stella couldn't wait to tear into the ornaments and hang them on the tree.  Of course, now her favorite thing to do is take the ornaments off, carry them around, put them in her purse/suitcase...etc.  We quickly learned to put the "special" ornaments at the top.

And Stella got her very own Christmas tree to decorate in her room.
