decking the halls

as we said goodbye to thanksgiving ...
we said hello to all things Christmas!!



the weather - and lack of snow - was perfect

so we set out to cut down a Christmas tree! 

with the help of 3 strong boys
and a sawzall ;)
the job went quick



we took a little time to enjoy some cider

and then headed home for the REAL decorating.



BUT ...
no decorating reveals yet.

not because it's SO different
or amazing
or worth waiting for


more like ...
i was busy cleaning up the 3 ornaments that got broken
and
figured i still have a good month to take a decorated tree picture
so
why rush ;)
