A few weeks ago T and I decided it was time to put our day after Christmas steal of a tree up in our apartment. It's super exciting to start decorating our first tree in our first place together. We opened the box and were about to start putting our tree together until we noticed a very important piece was missing....the plastic piece that the tree goes into that also has the slots for the feet to slide into.
The next day T called the customer support and had a sort of interesting experience. He had to leave a voicemail since no one answered. Luckily, the lady called back and T had to fib when we bought the tree since it was last years model. She told him that she would call if they couldn't find the part or he could just go by a tree stand and wedge the tree into it. Umm, no thanks.
I was very excited to see a little box near our door last week so we could put our tree up. It was the right part, so we were ready to start fluffing and decorating our tree.

| On a Hobby Lobby run, I picked up this ornament for me :) |
 |
| One of my students gave me this ornament for Christmas when I was student teaching for my future tree. I just loved my fifth graders! |
My classroom is starting to look decorated as well. I picked up a little tree and ornaments on a Target run and grabbed some lights at Shopko. I got the tree skirt last year when we got our tree after Christmas.
