Tree Hunting

Dryden spies what we're after, Poppa approaches with caution.

It's a keeper, bound up, it proves difficult to measure, just over 15 feet.
creating quite a stir people even the tree farm owners lined up and took pictures of the largest Christmas tree. We filled up on complimentary spiced cider and prepared to wrestle it into the house.

Un bailing the tree Kirsten and Christy.
Poppa and neighbor Shane helped bring it into the house.

Stand back, I think it's going to spring out just a bit (hehe it filled the room) .

A lot of ladder work and huge ornaments.

It looks like my den grew a grand fir tree from upstairs. Shane helped put the Top on and get the tree in the house. (Tip: Put the top on the tree before you put it up Sheesh what a pain I nearly shot Dryden out of a cannon)

We call it wall o' tree.

Dryden is not complaining however. The stairs make hanging ornaments easier.

Jack and Chrissie seem to be happy about the tree too Janet was not available for comment.

That's a lot of stockings! and I'm finished. Two trees, two Christmas villages, six garland, one railroad and 12,000 lights should be plenty or take the month of January off... if we have any more kids, I'll need to make a larger wall
