Oh Christmas Tree oh Christmas Tree...





So we got our tree up. When we first got our tree we found out Riggins (our dog at the time) liked to eat trees :) So... we didnt put up a tree anymore. then when Riggins went to live with Scott's mom we decided to try it again. That was last year... needless to say... all of our ornaments had been eaten... this meant... we put up the tree and put a few blue and silver bows on that i had made and hadnt been destroyed. It wasnt pretty.
I remember mindy asked how many lights we had on it... lol - the answer 2 strings! hehe
anyway... we had to start over this year. Luckily we put the tree up against a wall so the fact that we dont have enough ornaments to go all the way around is not important.
I think it turned out well considering we havent had a tree (decorated at least) in 6 yrs.
Yes it is black/silver/white. Yes Mom - black. We hope to get a Tuxedo Black Christmas Tree next year. That will make it look really cool!
Anyway... Scott probably has a more detailed blog on this - so you may want to check his blog too :)

Wow I love it Kasey!!! It looks great. I'm very impressed. I love the black bird at the top. You should get some more of those but if you are getting a black tree next year I guess it would be pointless cause a black bird might not show up on a black tree :) Anyways I think it looks great!

Your tree is so pretty, looks like one you would have. Ha Ha. It's good to see you're "still around" I hope to hear from you soon. russellfamily08.blogspot.com

Mindy, it's a raven. Like from The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe:

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow


See, obviously, it was a Christmas poem....

Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'
