Christmas

This was our first Christmas as a married couple! This year we decided to go out and cut down our own Christmas tree. Okay, we did not trek through the woods to find a tree, but we did track down a tree farm and the nice owner cut down the tree of our choice.

Devin did a great job at tying the tree to the car. So,when the tree was outside it looked like it would fit perfectly into our living room, but I guess it must have grown going through the door because it definitely got larger when it was inside. We rearranged the furniture and found a spot in the corner. There was not a lot of room to get around the tree to the coach, but we figured it was just for a month.

We put the lights on and decorated the tree together. It looked so pretty. It will be nice to collect new ornaments each year so we can fill up or tree.
Devin was able to get a few days off of work, so we headed down to Carson City to spend the holiday with his parents. It was a short trip but it was nice to get away for a few days and spend time with family. On the way back a snow storm hit and the usual 10 hour drive turned into a 15 hour drive, but we made it safe. Overall, it was a wonderful 1st Christmas together.
