I took a break (wasn't too difficult in convincing me to do so) from writing papers last Monday night and went with Rob to hunt down a Christmas tree in the rain. First, we started out our trip at Fred Meyer to look for a stand and some rope to tie the tree to the Subaru. We decided on the cheaper twine and had to go to Target for the stand because Fred Meyer was sold out....although fake trees are becoming more and more popular, people still love the traditional pine smell. At Target, we picked up a few colored ornament balls to add in addition to Linda's beautiful ornaments. Then, we drove over to Martin Luther King Blvd to find a tree lot open at 7pm. The men there told us about the $50 trees, $40 trees, and then the clearance trees for $20. So, Rob and I made a be-line to the $20 trees without hesitation. :) We got it home and completely decorated (even though slightly wet, I assured Rob we wouldn't get shocked). It was a fun night and I love the smell. :) I can't get enough...although wouldn't recommend it as a perfume or cologne scent. So, this has been the making of Rob & Ann's first Christmas together married (or 6th Christmas together before marriage)! :) Merry Christmas, Bennions!!!
Here is the tree & study material.... the 2 seem inevitable.

Great picture! It was fun to see a new post as I took a break from studying to check the blog :) I love the smell of a real tree--it isn't Christmas without it. I love the study stuff too--good luck with everything, I feel your pain!
That is a great shot. Wendy and I love the smell of a tree too. I love all the lights.

We love the tree... the shot really captures the lights on the tree as well. We bought our first tree this year as well and we can't get enough of the smell in our home as well... it's the best smell to come home to!

I love Christmas trees, lights, newly weds and first Christmases as newly weds....I love thinking that all of my oldest boys have married the most wonderful women. We are so blessed by each one!
