Not the white kind, unfortunately. But yesterday was clear and crisp and definitely more holiday-like than the 70 degree temps we were experiencing earlier in the week. Filled with holiday spirit, we set out to find find the perfect tree (you have to click on the third one to attain the full effect): 
Once we got it home, we discovered it was too big for our tree stand. Frantic rushing ensued as we looked at the clock, realized we had two hours until friends would be arriving, and a 7 foot Douglas Fir lying on our living room floor. Kevin went out to get a larger tree stand, while I pulled out all the other boxes. When he got home, Kevin strung up the lights on our big formal tree in the living room while I worked on the smaller one in our bedroom. The smaller one holds all the ornaments we've bought together over the last couple years, as well as ornaments from our childhood:
When the lights were strung, on the large tree, we finished decorating it together. The end result is, I think, quite pretty:
