Day 2: Favorite Holiday Memory
This Christmas I loved going to pick out our Christmas tree. My family always had a fake tree, so getting a real tree is special to me. It completely feels like a tradition that my boyfriend and I have started.
We went to an adorable Christmas tree lot just around the corner from the condo.
Then after I was denied this little midgety tree :)
We found the one!! And I named him Milton. Do you name your tree? Nope? Just me then! We took him home...
Added some ornaments and lights...
And here he is all decorated.

I love going to pick our our tree too. This was the first year that my husband went with us!
Hehe! Love that you named him!
i love that you named your Christmas tree! we always have a fake one too, perhaps a real one next year??? your tree was very pretty!
I love that you name your tree! I am a new follower! :)
Your tree turned out just lovely. This Christmas was a pretty good memory for me! The dude went crazy over the train table santa brought!
Your tree turned out gorgeous!
Beautiful tree! I love that you named it. I didn't name our tree, but I name pretty much everything else.
I got my very first tree this year too and I LOVED it! I haven't taken it down yet and I know I need to but I'm putting it off cause the tree makes me so happy! :)
Nothing beats a real Christmas tree - I love the smell to be honest, haha. Love the name! Never have done that before though...
I love the smell of a real tree. Cute name!
LOL that is a first for me, hearing that someone named their tree.
Here is an idea that you might like.
For my first tree as a married person and my sons first trees, I pulled off a branch and stuffed it into one of those clear glass balls.
On the outside I wrote the year and what the tree represented. I still have all three. You could put the year and your tree's name!
I still have my ornaments. 25 yrs, 19 yrs and 17 yrs. later.

Your tree looks so pretty! Happy 2011 :)
I got a real tree for the first time since I was 12! I was so excited and BFF didn't understand my excitement, but he went along :) Haha
what a great tree! Milton haha I love it. Does the condo get to pine-smelling with a real tree? Thats why I've never got one before.
Ha- Milton. No, I've never named my tree but perhaps I'll start that. ;) And real trees are the bomb--yours looks great!
