Growing up, we never had a real Christmas tree. We had a six-foot faux tree that I loved taking out and setting up every year with my mom or my sisters. This year, however, I wanted a real tree! Just because I never had one before. So once we returned to Seattle, Michael and I set out to the tree farm in Redmond to pick one out.
The day was super cold! Below freezing with still a dusting of snow from the previous day, but I was persistent and we bundled up.
We walked around the farm for a good twenty minutes while drinking cider. I was really picky. I wanted the perfect tree for my first, and then I finally found it! So perfectly triangular, bright color, and a great smell!
I was completely surprised at how hard it was to saw down the tree. I hardly made a dent so Michael ended up doing it all.
After tying the tree down, we headed to Target to get some lights and ornaments. Then, voila! A very merry apartment!
