Christmas in Oregon 2011 begins

This Christmas season has been busy busy busy. Since we are spending the holiday at our house this year, and Mama Schilling is flying in, we have a lot to get ready for. Shopping, decorating, cooking, etc. The time is flying by, and there is barely any time left for important things like blogging or catching up on Pan Am with my home girl Brooke.

This weekend we had to get the tree. Can't have Christmas without a tree, right?! The past three years we have used our dinky little fake tree, but this year, since we are spending Christmas at the house, we decided to get a real, Oregon-grown tree. We even went out to the farm where we were able to cut it ourselves. 

How do you ever choose. There were so many trees!

...but then we found her. A Grand Fir beaut!

What a sweet manly man, cutting his wife down an x-mas tree.

seven years old?

Here she is at home, and all lit up. More pictures to come once all the decorations are finally up. ...but not until I finish the Christmas card.

Until next time...
