We went to Target to find a theme for our tree (Hunter was confused as to why we needed a theme but I operate better that way). His first suggestion was Orange and Maroon… a fine color combination but for a Christmas tree?
I wanted something homey that reminded me of the mountains in Virginia. Truly our hearts are nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I can always win him over if I remind him of Franklin County. And so we picked a theme and the most important part of a tree… the topper: a beautiful birchwood branch star with holly berry. We liked so many ornaments but they can be so expensive. Making some of them would be fun and cheaper… Michael’s anyone?
I hadn’t been to Michael’s since the wedding planning and the smell brought back awesome memories. Hunter was more patient for tree shopping than for wedding shopping. I feel so blessed that he is just as excited and eager to make this holiday special. We ended up buying little bird houses and paint. Then we went home to work on our ornaments and watch Die Hard and Die Harder… nothing like a little Bruce Willis saving the world on Christmas Eve to get you in the holiday spirit.
They’re cute aren’t they? And they were only a dollar each!
Can you guess which one is mine and which one is Hunter’s?
