Christmas Tree 07

This saturday the house went out to hunt down this years tree. Since the Christmas Tree Farm we went to last year was turned into soccer fields we had to travel a little further to Haverhill. Here's us getting ready to leave, it was about 20 degrees out with lots of wind. We learned when we called the tree farm that the biggest trees were half price because they were trying to get rid of them. The first tree we saw was one of those and we had our eyes on it from the beginning because it was perfect:
It sure was monsterous, though, measuring in at 11.5ft tall and 9ft in diameter.
We voted, and by a vote of 5 to 2 we chose the HUGE tree. After much sawing, the tree was brought down.
Theo was very interested in this whole process.

We got it in the truck and I think it may actually be bigger than the truck :-)

And finally we got it home and decorated, and cleaned up underneath with Theo's help.

And finally, after all that work we have a beautiful tree :-) that takes up half of our study. Isn't Christmas great?

It's beautiful! But I still am pretty impressed that we had our tree up before you ~ but then it is not a real one and is MUCH smaller than yours. Enjoying the beauty of the decorations will be fun as you experience them through Theo and Jaydon's eyes and hopefully none of the cats or dog will find other uses for the tree1
Love, mom
