Christmas on the Highway


  
The chosen one.













Our tree.







In Texas we have to make an effort to feel like it's the Christmas season especially since the weather can often still be in the 70s.  Let me just say Austin does it up right!  I've always seen the trees along Capitol of Texas highway decorated but I've never participated until this year.  It was super fun and there were tons of people out decorating Saturday.  As my friend, Paige, stated, "I was beginning to think elves decorated these trees because you never see anyone hanging the ornaments!"  This is typically true and as you drive you wonder....who did all this?  But we were in luck and definitely could tell we were virgins to this awesome Austin tradition.  There were people with ladders and car loads of decor!  Next year we will be prepared.

By far, the best tree!
