We don't do artificial trees. Never have. I see the appeal, but we always seem to choose the long way...so off we go. Into wild Alaska (a.k.a. about 15 yards into our backyard).
On our way!
"Bout a "foot" deep. Har, har.
No. That is NOT white mascara.
Also, winter makes it really hard to walk.
I am SO cute. Don't you just love this look? This look says, "Winter in Alaska is an awesome time for fashion. I am so fashionable." Also, "fashionable" is fun to say.
Ok. At this point we found our tree and Chuck is cutting it down.
Charley is holding her mitts to her ears to block the noise and she is super happy.

Here it is! Very tall but very Charlie Brown. Charley picked it out.
For as long as I can remember, Chuck and I have always posed for a kissing picture after finding our tree.
I don't know why. It is just something we do.
This one is a little different than most. See if you notice anything a little off.

Did you find it?
Ok. We did it right. For the traditions sake.
Pay no mind to the mascara running all over my face.
I mean it!
This is the one!

ReplyDeleteAnd I learned a long time ago - and the HARD way (LOL), that if you're going to wear mascara in winter, it better be waterproof!
OMG!! There is ice on Charley's eyelashes and Chuck's mustache!! Loved seeing that process. It was almost as good as being with you as you picked out the tree except a lot warmer. :0 Thanks so much for sharing that. What next? Your spoiling me with your numerous blogs this week. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGreat Tree!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!!
Hey that tree is actually super cute and not in a measly Charlie Brown tree kind of way. His tree had like 3 almost bare twigs and like, one red ball ornament. Ya'll got a good one.
ReplyDeleteThat close up white mascara pic of Charley, although beautiful is so disturbing to me in the way I want to scream "DON'T FALL ASLEEP!! STAY AWAKE OKAY??" Those type of temps are just so dangerous.
That pic of you in the ski mask is reallllllllyyyyy pretty, sister. You got big o purty eyes.
