A Fun, Old Fashioned Griswold Family Christmas



We've been tree shopping for a few days. Nothing really struck our fancy. They were either too expensive or too cheap. That is, until today. We went to Lowe's. They were having a 50% off sale on all their Christmas decorations, including trees. We spotted this big ol' 9 foot tree and our eyes lit up. And at 50% off, it was a good deal too. We knew those high ceilings in the living room were good for something! So we brought it home and set it up. It looked much smaller in the store. Boy... 9 feet is really high! But we love it!! I'm not sure who's going to put the star on top though...

This is where we decided to put the tree. It's not decorated yet, we'll do that this weekend. We still need to add lights too.

We also got a personalized ornament to go on our first tree in the new house. It'll be the first ornament to go on the giant tree. I think we're gearing up for a fun, old fashioned Griswold... errr... Hayden Family Christmas!

Is it real or fake?

Yay! It looks real!! It isn't... it's a total fake. But we'll have it for years to come. And it can even convert to a 7' tree if we ever want to put it in a room with shorter ceilings.

A convertible tree...that's neat.
