A Christmas First '07



My First Christmas Tree on my Own!! :D



I picked it out, purchased it, put it in the back of my car, and everything else all by myself!!

Mental notes for next year:

1.) Dress more appropriately -- Knit hat and boots are a MUST

2.) Put a drop cloth in the car so future passengers don't have to dig pine needles out of their backsides!

3.) Purchase saw and clippers

4.) Purchase tree stand

5.) Don't be sooooo impatient -- let the branches drop before forcing all the sparkly lights to stay on the branches

6.) Never forget how much fun you had picking out your first tree - and even though you could have done things differently, it wouldn't have been the same. Your memories are just as unique as you are Jessica!
*extra*
Just as the camera did it's last big flash to show me the picture was being taken - off in the distance I heard KABOOOM!! I had to roll my eyes and laugh. Only to me, would a powerful gun be exploding as I was taking a memorable picture. I quickly decided to get in the house b/c I wasn't wearing even the slightest shred of orange!

Good for you! I'm proud of you for putting forth the effort to do that by yourself. It's not easy with two people! I bet it was beautiful!

The first tree is so memorable. I like your list of things to do next year. You really are in the country to hear guns going off.
