Today we got our first Christmas tree in Idaho. Luckily there is a nifty little place 2 blocks from my house with trees for $19.95, what a steal! Our special tree was cut in Oregon, near Mt.Hood, yesterday and then traveled all night to make it to our house today. Merry Christmas all!!

                                  

Who says a Corolla won’t fit a 7′ tree?

  It stands! 

  Lights…

 and ornaments!

 Ornaments received at Secret Santa 7 years ago.

All the other ornaments were gifts from former students, 

except the mini gold and silver balls that I picked up the other day.

Now our house smells like a fresh pine forest and we’re ready to celebrate the season!
