My dearest husband has a few things he feels very passionately about. The second amendment, Carolina barbecue, and having a real Christmas tree. So the Friday after Thanksgiving we headed about half a mile down the road to Sugar Mountain Christmas Tree lot and picked out the most perfectly beautiful tree for our front room. It's our first tree in our first house. We didn't have one last year because we had just moved in and we were spending Christmas in Connecticut. Mason was ecstatic and was thrilled about the tree all season long. When we took it out after New Year's he was a little upset, and saying "I don't want to say goodbye to our beautiful tree!" Sorry little man, we can do it all again next year!
