Our First Christmas Tree

There is something so special about your first Christmas together as husband and wife.  It's a chance to set up your own family traditions, to have fun decorating and shopping, laughing and whispering secrets, and to have your best friend share in all the joy Christ's birth brings us. 

We bought our first Christmas Tree last weekend, and after spending the afternoon shopping for presents (and a quick stop at Mom and Dad Stuck's for Chowder and hot muffins) we spent the evening setting it up.  Tony made yummy hot Milo (Kiwi hot coco), and Cindy pulled out all the boxes of decorations and found the Christmas Music Channel.  


We set the tree up in the front window and were so excited we kept running outside (in 40 degree weather) to see how it looked from the sidewalk.  It was such a special evening, and the tree turned out absolutely gorgeous.  Thank you Lord for special family memories.
