Meet Dinky, our Christmas tree.
Proud(?) owner of our smallest Christmas tree ever
Here is a picture taken right outside of our condo. The white "de Wilde's" sign is for a nursery. We decided to support our local (literally right next door) nursery and buy our Christmas tree from them. We have a pretty small living room and needed to buy a smaller tree than normal. Let me share a little of our dialogue:Trev: We're getting a big tree.
Kristen: We don't have room for a big tree. What about this one?
Trev: No, it's too small. What about this one?
Trev: No, it's too sparse. (Answering his own question)
Trev: I'm not getting a tree that's shorter than me. What about this one? (Holding up another tall and wide tree)
Trev: No, it's too big. (Answering his own question, again)
Trev: (Holding up Dinky) This one? But it's so small.
Kristen: It's a cute tree.
Trev: Cute? A cute tree? Ughhhh.
Trev: (measuring the tree with his trusty tape measurer) Okay, let's get it. Merry Christmas.
And this is how we ended up with Dinky. Which, by the way, is the perfect size for our "cozy" living room. Although we look forward to future years when we can get a nice big manly Christmas tree.
We had our first snowfall here yesterday. It was beautiful! It was a perfect day to get our tree and decorate for Christmas. We listened to Christmas songs for most of the day.

Our table decorated for dinner guests last night... Trev told both guys they could come over as long as they didn't make fun of our tree. Haha!

How awesome to get a tree in the snow. Our tree is bigger than yours. Ha Ha. - Jason
I love that you named the tree "Dinky!" You are right, "Dinky" really is quite a cute tree! We're with you on not having room for a big one!
Hey, your table looks beautiful!!!
Love,
Lori
Ok, I don't know if you guys had to rub in the disappointment with the name "Dinky." But, hey, I agree, it is "cute." Thanks for the pictures. I miss you guys bunches and bundles and bugalows.
Kristen...
I love your little tree (it looks lie ours)! Your snow pictures look like Narnia! :)
Love you!
ps. Love how you decorated the table!!
It takes zero imagination to hear that conversation between the two of you happening- so great. Love you, miss you and your tree's very cute!

Hey Guys,
Doug just told me there are some major storms going on in Washington, so I wanted to make sure you are okay. I sure hope you are! Thinking about you!
Love,
Lori
I love your tree. Will you post pics of it decorated? I love decorated trees. Hey how did you guys come to the decision to spend Thanksgiving with Trevor's parents and what are you doing for Christmas? I'm having a hard time deciding how to divide holidays. You're advice would be appreciated.
