O Tannenbaum

After we got home from our awesome adventure,

for FHE we decorated our tree!

With wonderful Christmas music playing in the background!

Don't mind the fan pulls hanging down in the picture... I didn't realize they showed up so much.. I have a very limited view on my camera...

Also, don't mind that it's leaning a bit. We had it all bundled up because the husband strapped it to the roof of our car, and it took a little while for it to relax, by that time we had it in the tree stand and when we put it in it was straight... then it relaxed and leaned a bit.

Currently, I'm working on a tree skirt...

when I finish that I'll have to post a picture

(unless it turns out ugly, in which case I'll spare you).

Oh, and the star,

I really like it!

I was at Tai Pan a few weeks back and I knew I needed a star to top our tree

well, they had a few star tree toppers but the one I liked they didn't have in a color I liked

or it was more than I wanted to pay

well, they have these awesome stars that don't have a back,

so I bought two and used my trusty hot glue gun and glued them together at the tips!

Then, we went to Home Depot and got some copper wire and made the tree topper part.

The husband twisted it for me (well, I did at first but I wasn't very good at it),

and now we have a beautiful star tree topper!
