Christmastime is here! Heather and I lost no time getting our tree set up. We spent yesterday making our apartment ready for the holiday season.

It all began with a trip to a Christmas tree farm. Friends of mine have farm in/around Sublimity. They are selling their trees for $12. They were open yesterday, and will be open today from 1-4 and then next weekend as well (if any of you Oregon readers are still looking for a tree).

Megan and Meredith came along too. Meredith has never cut down her own tree before, so it was quite the entertaining adventure for all of us.

Heather and I found a tree almost immediately.

Once we had our tree Christena gave us some hot apple cider and we chatted for awhile. It was such a fun trip and will be an annual tradition, I'm sure.

The night didn't end there. Heather made mexican lasagna and we watched two Christmas movies over dinner and decorating.
