So there's a tiny back story to mine, which is finally up. Growing up, I never really got to help decorate a tree. My parents were always super .... about where everything went. I helped by bringing ornaments and hanging them in spots that they pointed out to me
Anyway, this was my first time getting to really do my own tree, so I claimed the task as my own, and did the whole thing myself. For my first time ever, I did okay

This is also our first tree as a family, as we always travel for the holidays and this is our first christmas at home. He took this pic before I added the tree skirt, so you can see the base but meh.
