I was in the kitchen starting dinner when I heard Gene say, "Um, do you think maybe you could come help me a second with the Christmas tree?" He said it so casually, I took my time walking into the living room only to find him waiting for me with the tree balancing on his back!!! So, what's a wife to do? Help her husband? Nah. Take pictures, of course!
I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs....um, I mean living room. We headed out yesterday in search of a BIG tree for our living room, since we actually have room for a decent sized one this year. We passed right by the 5 foot, 6 foot, 7 foot and 8 foot trees. We had our eyes set on the biggest one we saw, about 9 feet. Our ceilings were high enough, right? After lugging it home, we found that we had to cut a good chunk off the top just to get it to stand in our living room without hitting the ceiling. Gene sawed the top off...and then gave it a good hair cut with the scissors to finish it off.
It's the biggest tree I've ever seen, well except for the one in NYC...even though I think ours comes close to it. We strung three sets of lights on it last night. Tonight we'll decorate it, and then I'll post some pictures of the final product. I can't wait to light up Callan's first Christmas tree!
