Elf is probably on right now.

I had a fabtastic weekend y'all, I finally got my Christmas tree. Why do I say MINE? Because hubs has never had a tree up in this house (fifteen years occupied) and then I came along. It's not Christmas without the tree so a-hunting we went.
Directions. Good.
The best they had. Literally. This tree farm was less than par.
The manly man cut the tree.
He does good work.
Doesn't he look all grizzly and rugged? I even let him set it up for me.
Let there be light.
And the final product.
Bodie approved.
Speaking of Bodie, my former roommate and always bestie, Michelle, made me this last Christmas. From what I hear, he was a pain in the butt in the process.
Cute right?
Then we have our first ornament, technically, as a married couple. My BFF Katie gave this to me as a wedding present.
Love it.
Of course, we have to give some love to the Hokies, I mean, they are ACC champs.
That's about it as far as ornaments go. We've never had a Christmas tree together so collecting decorations never was an issue. This year we bought a bulk box of ornaments from WalMart and hope to collect some special additions throughout the years.
Oh, and did you notice our manly, hunter approved stockings?
He may not know this yet but I see Pottery Barn personalized ones in our future.

Ohh I want to cut down my own tree so badly! It's my list for next year. And the one you got looks great!
Lets see...I heart elf, I really heart your tree and I really, really heart that paw ornament totally stealing the idea :+)
I LOVE ELF!! I usually watch it a bajillion times between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Love your tree! We put up ours this weekend too.
I love Elf!!
Your tree is very pretty!
Hahaha, I LOVE Elf. Pretty sure I watched it twice over the weekend.
I love your manly hunting man stockings--they are too cute. But, yes, Pottery Barn monnogrammed stockings FOR SURE. We just started collecting ornaments and we've been married five years. Ha!
LOVE Elf SO SO much. I think I've seen it twice in the last two weeks. It never gets old.

Love the picture of you with the tree. :)
What fun decorating your first tree together. Hubby and I have accumulated many ornaments over our three Christmases together. I'm sure you both will too!
Hope you're having a great Monday!
Awe the tree looks great! And buying bulk is good then you can slowly fade out with the more personalized ones! It's a win win! The stockings are cute :)
What a great tree! And I like how you (he) had to cut it down, makes it real...not like my fakey outta the box ha.
Luv that ornament too cute!
Ooooh I love the tree!
Love how it isn't fake too (:
Spotted the stockings right away, I love that they're hanging from the bay window. Tree looks pretty perfect in the house, YAY
aw, so beautiful! i also hugged my tree when we found it. although ours is about half the size.
So pretty! Love it. Oh and Elf is one of my FAVORITE holiday movies! I have it on DVD but I still watch it every time it's on TV!
I love the tree. It's amazing how much a real one can make your house smell good! Just found your blog, love it!
I got those personalized ones from pottery barn, too... I mean - free personalization and shipping, how could I resist?! haha.
You are too cute! And I love your tree!
What a gorgeous tree! I think Mike and I will be getting new stocking soon, too. He doesn't know this yet either. ;)
I love Elf too. Those stockings are SUPER cute.
An actual paw print! That is such a cute idea!
Love your tree! Nothing quite beats the smell of a real one :)
Oh. My. Gosh. I LLUUHHRVV Elf. Hands down the best christmas movie!
And I am so glad that there are other people that cut down their christmas trees! I was beginning to think I was the only one.
Just found your blog and I am excited to follow!
You and Kevin are seriously adorable. And the tree looks great! Ps, please let me dog-sit Bodie.
Love the tree and the ornaments! We have an ornament with our ferrets' paws, just like yours with Bodie's, too! =) We just started collecting some meaningful ornaments ourselves. It'll be fun to add to our collection through the years!
