On December 1st, we all went to Green Thumb in Ventura to pick out Christmas trees. "This one's perfect, Honey! Hope, can you take our picture? We forgot our camera."
For many years, Peter has been the one who cuts the bottom of the tree just before it goes into the water, so it will last longer. First was Mom and Pop's, then Hope and Viktor, then Spring and Brian, and then we took ours home.
Brian and Peter 'unveiling' the tree at Mom and Pop's.
Peter by our first tree. It was just the right size.
This is one of the first ornaments we got. It is a bride and groom riding away in the get away car. It was on one of the packages Tracy opened at her bridal shower. She also got a Barbie ballerina, and a 2007 snowflake at the shower. On our honeymoon, we took a day trip to Virginia City and got a couple ornaments there, at a Christmas store that is open all year. We also got a couple in Tahoe. It was fun shopping for our first tree and all the trimmin's.
