The First Christmas Tree as the Mdivanian's
The day was wonderful. Tigran and I went home to Bellville and cut down our tree. The tree hunt was not uneventful. First Tigran did not wear a coat so he was on the verge of freezing to death. Second, we had to put gloves on the ground so Tigran's knees didn't get soaked in the snow. Third, as I was trying to take a picture of Tigran being a manly man cutting down the tree...I walked backwards and fell into a digger hole! (a gigantic hole left when they dig out a tree) Tigran got a great laugh..I'm suprised he didn't pee himself he was laughing so hard! So after we got our tree cut we went home and my dad tied it to the RAV4. A couple hours later we headed home to decorate!
We made it home safely and got the tree in the house. When we started to decorate though, we realized that we didn't have an angel for the top, we didn't have enough lights, we didn't have matching stockings, we didn't have icicles, and we had nothing to hold our stockings onto the mantle. So we went to Target. Target had nothing we wanted except for the new System of a Down CD and candy canes (which we remembered we needed once we got there). Then we to Meijer...nothing...and then finally to wal-mart. There we got icicles. So we still need a tree topper, stocking holders (we got some from Wal-Mart but are taking them back because they are crappy), and stockings.
At home we decided to use an old tree topper star from my Aunt Kat's but when I was trying to make it look straight...I snapped it in two...so now yes our star is being held onto our tree with a rubber band. All in all though our tree does look pretty good and I will post pictures from our adventure soon.
After all the excitement of the day however...it did not end. About 10 I got the flu! This meant poor Tigran had to take care of me as I spent the next 3 hours in the bathroom. He was very kind and is a pretty good nurse. (I hope he never vomits though because I'm not sure if I will be able to take it...its gross!) Today I'm staying home from work to recover more and because I didn't wake up until 11...(I was planning on going in late at 12).
Well that was the first Christmas tree hunt! I will post pictures soon!
