Farewell Christmas tree

So last night I tried to undecorate the tree so I could redecorate it with Valentines day decorations. Unfortunately it was not cooperating and all of the needles where falling to the floor. We decided to just take it down. It lasted over a month which was surprising since it was in the corner near the heater...it was just sad. Our first real tree and we had to get rid of it. I love having a tree in the house...it smells so good and it just looks pretty!
Today was the first day back to work for Shane after Christmas block leave, it was sad to not be able to just relax this morning but it was also nice to be able to clean and get the house back in order since I slacked off severely while he was home all the time so we could enjoy the "vacation" together. Its ok, next week we have another four day weekend. Please pray for Shane, he will be getting his wisdom teeth out on the 14th of January.

As promised, here is a picture for today, January 4, 2011...our Christmas tree outside with the first snow of 2011 on it :)
