Buying Our First Christmas Tree Together

Usually I use an artificial Christmas tree for the holidays.  There are several reasons for this.  The first is I hate the thought of a tree dying for the sake of being a decoration for a few weeks.  The second reason is real trees are a mess to clean up.  The third is I'm rather a frugal person (or my mom would say down right cheap), so I like the thriftyness of re-using the same tree.
But since this year was special in that it was our first Christmas to celebrate together, Russ and I decided to go all out and buy a real tree.  Here's Russ with the tree we selected.
And here we are with the "left arm stretch" pose that's become our trademark.
