A Real Tree

This year I decided we needed a real tree for Christmas. So we went and the boys actually found the perfect Sharum tree. Jason didn't want a tall one and that was fine, but I wanted a full one. And boy did we get a "F.U.L.L." one. But I love it!! Of course, nothing is easily done at our house - Jason had THE HARDEST time getting the tree to sit snugly in the tree stand. After some cutting, tugging, shouting and cussin, I think we got it. I say that and watch the darn thing be turned over in the morning - haha. Our tree is 7ft tall and 5 years old. You can count the rings in one of our pictures. The kids had a blast going from tree to tree measuring each and every one.
