Well although last year was our first Christmas together this year is different for so many reasons. Besides being married now, last year we didn't have to many decorations but we did have a live tree. Live trees are great, but if you know me then you know I kill practically any plant that makes it into my house, including all trees. Needless to say our tree lasted about a week last year before I forgot to give it water and killed it. HA. I managed to keep it standing until the 25th but it was all brown and had very few needles on it. Now that's what I should have posted a picture of!! Oh well.This year when Kevin and I decided to decorate the house we decided a fake tree would be best for the Ford residence. This way I was safe from killing, burning, or drying out any holiday decor. While we were shopping for decorations we came across a huge selection of tropical ornaments. It is definitely out of the ordinary but they tree actually turned out very cute. If you notice it fits right in with the sailors wheel on the wall!
So any Jimmy Buffett fan knows that you cant be a fan with out being a parrot head. That's why our tree has fish, boats, parrots, and even surf boards. It honestly fits in perfectly with our home decor. I should be wrapping presents to put under this dang tree right now instead of blogging... but what are you gonna do.
Kevin also wanted a 50 ft. Santa on a surf board to blow up in the front yard.. after some major convincing and pleading we settled for a large surfin' Santa on the mantel!! HAHA.
Oh on a side note, its been almost two months now that I have been without my car and its still not fixed! UGH. They are hoping it will be done by Christmas, I know I've been good this year so hopefully Santa will bring it back to me... along with a few other presents under the tree :)
