I had been asking the guys if we could go cut a tree since mid November. I wanted the tree here, in the garage before college girl got home from school so then we could just decorate it. The guys put it off and put it off until finally it was THE coldest day of the season so far. Temperatures were in the teens but it was WINDY and who knows what wind chill adjusted temperature was. Brrrrrrr! The guys were thinking we should take a drive on the road above our house and look from the vehicle before traipsing around outside too much.
This is the tree we decided on after looking at about 4 others. This one was downhill from the car but uphill from the house. The guys decided it would be easier to drag it down the hill rather than haul it up the hill and hoist it on top of the suburban.
After storing the tree in the shop for a week,it was finally set up in the house on the 13th. Do you see that my son, who is 6'6.5" needed a ladder to put the star and the lights up?? You'll notice hubby standing to the side in the photo. He is 6'7" and he is looking UP at the tree. We wanted a tall one!
Oh, so perfect! Great pics to capture the acquisition!
