Christmas Tree Shopping & Holiday Decor | 2019

I never thought we would ever buy a real tree knowing how much of a clean freak I am lol and thats being honest. Something changed one day when I saw a little family cutting down a tree and how much fun they looked like they were having. I told George one day when we have a baby I want to start that tradition with them and he agreed. So then we had Jayleen and I think we just wanted to wait until she was old enough to understand so we waited and this year it just felt right.

After church on Sunday we decided to go because I have been researching on how to take care of one and when was the best time to buy and every website said mid Nov if you are buying a pre-cut one because thats when they come in fresh and you get the best choice.

We told Jayleen that morning and that's all she would talk about is her Christmas tree haha. We went to two farms first and they were just overpriced in my opinion. So we ended up at our local Home Depot and as soon as we walked into the aisle that had the price point we were looking for we saw a pretty tall tree and I honestly think they had priced it wrong because it was at least a 6-7 foot tree! We quickly grabbed it and went to pay and even when we were paying we thought it would ring up $54+tax but no it rang up to a total of $42! We left so happy and this will definitely be our spot for our tree every year!
I also wanted to change out our decor this year because we were getting a real tree and also because I wanted for Jayleen to be able to choose any ornament she wanted without worrying about sticking to a color scheme. So we went with a very minimal look and touches of gold here and there. I loved the way it turned out!
