Oh Christmas Tree. Oh Chistmas Tree...

We have a lovely wreath hung given to us by my parents, and our Christmas tree is all set up!  It was fun setting up the tree together for the first time.  Each of us had slightly different takes on tradition and they blended together in a fun way.  The night we got the tree I made Butternut Squash Soup served with homemade bread.  For desert I made a Pineapple Upside-Down Cake which seemed to fit the occasion.  Very classic and colorful.  Here are some pictures.
