Is that Real?

"Is that thing real?" "Its Huge" " Where did yall get that?" So these are just a few of the comments we have received as people have entered our apartment over the past couple of weeks. The "it" or "thing" they are referring to it our Christmas Tree!! Complements of Steven's Christmas tree farm, I was able to bring it back from Selma,Al. I was determined to get a big, pretty tree this year, but my main goal was a "FAT" tree. And can i say by the pics you can tell, I did it.

The theme of our Christmas tree this year is, what else but Red and Lime green. I know it took a lot to convince Greer the pink just wasn't the right color to go on the tree, yet it looks great all over our apartment. I love you and I love pink and green, Greer. Well most of the specialty ornaments came from a great little place in Selma, called TUTU's. They have the best ornaments and Christmas decor, so if you ever come to Selma, visit. Well i hope that your tree brings as much Christmas joy as our does for our APT.

The Griswold Family Christmas Tree!!

One of my fav traditions in my fam, is to attend our annual Tree Trimming Weekend. For as long as I can remember my family has gone out to Steven's Christmas tree Farm to pick out that perfect tree. And no I don't mean one of those stands on the side of the road where the boy scouts put the tree in the back of your car. I mean a real forest see the pic to the left. There have been many fun times, many Griswold Family Christmas trees, and let us not forget the time when Logan drove the tree back on the top of his Blazer... there are no words to explain that. Well to say the least, we have made this a tradition and we all come down the first weekend in December to go to the farm and pic the perfect trees for Mom and Dad's house and now I get one for my own apartment. How can you beat a freshly cut Christmas tree. So here are a few pics of our adventure into the forest this year!!

"Birfday" Time

Yes, its true, I just celebrated my 23rd Birthday! The night started out with dinner at Cocina Superior with some of the most amazing people in the world. Greer, LeLe, Dana, Bethany, Elysia, KK, and Trent were among the great people who attended my birthday. One of the wonderful surprises of the night was that Ruthie and Kitty stopped by to "Celebrate" with me too. Also I was surprised by Trent with tickets to the Colbie Calliet concert, it was great!! I had a super 23rd and i thank everyone who was able to share it with me!!
