Oh Christmas Tree!

In New Zealand Russ grew up celebrating Christmas camping on the beach since it was the middle of summer! When he came to the states Russ usually spent the day snowboarding. This year we wanted to start some of our own family traditions. Of course this will include snowboarding on Christmas Eve but one thing I really wanted was a little tree for our first Christmas together. Russ said he would try and be into it but that I would have to lead the way. After getting our tree, we decided to pick out a "First Christmas" ornament. I was looking through the never ending display at Hallmark when suddenly I realized Russ was nowhere to be found. The next thing I knew he had picked out a Wolverine ornament...collector's edition and said we just had to get it. Hm..thought he wasn't into it huh? Who knew Wolverine would bring out his Christmas spirit?! We set up the tree next to the fireplace and it's perfect. The "action shot" of Wolverine was taken by Russ, ha!
