Oh Christmas Tree oh Christmas Tree

We kept with family tradition this year and chopped down our Christmas tree.  The pictures somehow got in reverse order to we'll try something fun and present from finish to start.  Tadaaaaa, this is our end result.  I'd like to take some credit.  However, I cannot.  Brian chopped it down, carried it to the truck, set it up, trimmed it, put the lights on it, and then he and the kids decorated it.  I can say it looks fabulous!

We decided to put it in the front room this year due to a certain 7-month-old's curiosity.  It looked beautiful and you could see it nicely from the street.

Remember, we're watching the movie in reverse?  Here it is first put up...

It was ccccccoold, but still very little snow. This was certainly a change from last year when most tree cutters got stuck in the powder.

WE also made it to the downtown Christmas tree lighting,  fun, but ccccccccccold
