Oh Christmas Tree

Last week we went to get our tree. We were looking at 6-7 ft Douglas Furs, since they were in our price range, but could not find one that we liked. The guy that was working the lot said that the Nobel Furs were fuller and had a richer smell, but we told him they were too much. He then said if we found one we liked he would give it to us for the same price as a Douglas. We were very happy to get a beautiful tree and save $7. The tree was huge. It had to be bigger than just 7 ft since it touched our ceiling once put up.


We also had to move all of our furniture (this was after moving the bookshelf over about 1 ft, and before moving the T.V. ).


Collin wanted in on the fun, he watched mom go up and down the stepladder so he figured it was his turn.




Madison had fun helping put up the ornaments, especially the Disney ones.


To get the angel on top we had to trim off about a foot of the tree, but it looks good. We also need the gate to keep tiny hands off the tree, but even the barricade dose not stop Madison, just Collin.

  1. That is a beautiful tree! I like the pic of Collin on the step stool, he doesn't let anything hold him back. All the red in the barricade helps it fit in - not. Our tree spent Christmas in a playpen for a couple of years so I totally get it.
