CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE!!!!!

The large letters and exclamation marks show how happy I am that Søren and I just bought our very first Christmas tree together!! We were out looking for some other things to decorate for Christmas and saw some beautiful trees in a small parking lot. We decided to look and found the perfect one!!! We had to buy it! But we didn't have a trailer with or anything so were a little curious about how we would get it home in our little Toyota Yaris! Well apparently you can get them put into mesh bags for easier travel and after we had that done it could actually fit in our car! It was so weird driving home sitting in the back seat next to a tree but very exciting. I was like a little child!!
The tree in the car!

Then we came home and were able to decorate it. We don't have too many ornaments but it looks really pretty and I am so happy with it, even if it isn't exactly 13 feet tall! I have a little funny story about two cultures mixing during our shopping trip. When we were picking out what lights we should put on our tree Søren and I reached for 2 different boxes. Søren reached for the all white lights as he always had and I reached for the multi-colored lights that I am used to! It was so funny, but we ended up picking the multi-colored ones! So our tree is unique in Denmark!! Here are some pictures of our Christmas preparations! I also set up the village, Christmas really is here!!
Putting on the last ornament!
