This year we didn't get a big Christmas tree. We didn't even bring down our ornaments or decorate much of anything actually. With John being weak and unable to lift heavy things, there was no way I was going to be able to bring all the boxes down from our high storage units by myself. So we were going to make do without a Christmas tree this year.
But... it's not Christmas without a tree!!!
So I went to Lowes and bought a little blue spruce tree that you can plant in the yard! It was very cute :)
Here it is all decorated for Christmas. John and I had fun making paper origami cranes to hang on it along with the dollar store box 'o ornaments :)
I think it came out looking pretty good for a last minute purchase! I finally got around to planting it this past weekend.
Can you see it?
No?
Let me help - here's a closeup:
It's soooo tiny! I think it may only 2 feet tall.
I hope it actually grows :)
Bailey and Hurley were very excited at the prospect of digging in the dirt. Here they are waiting patiently (yeah right!) for me to hook them up to their leashes.
I tied them up to a tree near where I was working and they did surprisingly well!
Here's Hurley at full alert:
Have a great day!
PS - I finished my Koolhaas hat - but I still need to take pictures. I LOVE it!!!

Post an update on the size of the tree when Arbor Day comes in April (or you can wait until May to do it)
what a great idea!!! if you do that every year you'll have a forest eventually!! :)
Love the Hurley pic, he looks like he was being a REALLY good dog!!
That's a great tree! It will be a great reminder for many years. Cute pups too! Have a great day.
I love that hat! I haven't made one yet, though. Guess where I went last night...the Guild!
Sorry about dinner tonight!! :-(

Great Christmas tree, one's you can plant out are the best kind.
Bobby planted a spruce tree in my back yard just after we met ten years ago. It's now probably over 12 feet. Make sure to buy lights for it!
