Our First Christmas Tree

Last night, Jon and I put up our first Christmas tree!  It was so much fun!  We got a nice big one this year.  The cats have not started to climb the tree, so I am happy.

We decided to put our wedding gifts under the tree, so we can keep them all in one place.  This will allow us organize the other areas, such as closets to make room to store what we are not going to use for a while.  I do not want to unpack all that stuff, since we are not staying in the apartment forever.

Our tree does not have a particular theme.  It is a tree of our memories together.  Most of our ornaments have some special meaning or stories behind them.  I had some of our leftover wedding favors and hung some of those in our tree.

2009 was a great year!

So that's a few pictures from our first tree.  I will also get to cook our first Christmas dinner, since Jon is playing for church on Christmas eve.  Stay tuned...
