63. Fully decorate a Christmas tree

I thought I'd start with something simple. Some lights, some tinsel and some ornaments. Nothing fancy. I liked the blue-silver idea so I went with that. I also like the red-gold idea but I figured I can try that next year.

This tree was actually Andrew's parents' but they let us have it. They even gave us all their ornaments as well. I put up what I liked (I'm not a big fan of clowns...) which might seem limited but I figure over the years, we'll also build up our own collection of ornaments so I'm not going to rush out and spend more money on them right now.

It looks a little bear but I like keeping things simple. Maybe next year I can get a little help and then we can spend a little more time dazzling it up. But for now, our little Christmas tree is perfect the way it is.
