Traditions, Traditions

The holidays are all about traditions. Since this is our first "official" Christmas together Andy and I are creating our own traditions. On Saturday we went and picked out our Christmas Tree at none other than The Home Depot. (I hope this doesn't become a tradition. :) I envision us at a tree farm one day when we have children.)

We picked out a Frazier fur. We successfully fit it in my Toyota Solara - well not all the way! We headed home to start decorating!



The first ornament we placed on the tree was a wedding bell that says "Our First Christmas". I love unwrapping all the ornaments and remembering where we got them, or what they symbolize.

As we decorated the tree, we talked about traditions that we both had growing up during Christmas. Andy drinking his dad's homemade cider while decorating the tree. Me, Adam and mom decorating and drinking hot chocolate - while dad is telling us where the ornaments looked best!



We decided that we would make it a tradition to watch a holiday movie after we finished the tree. This year we watched Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn - So Cute!

I look forward to the many more traditions that we will create over the years.
