This is the final product! We supported the Rescue fire station and picked out a beauty. Owen was asleep in the car so we shopped fast! We also did this outing after grocery shopping...Not a lot of room in the truck bed after that. Chris and I had our usual laughs that happen when we are lifting heavy items together. Someone always pushes too fast, someone is always walking backwards, it is always goofy to coordinate!
Owen enjoys the lights, and eats in front of the tree daily.
Why is it always so messy?
Why is it always hard to get a straight edge? This photo is documenting Chris cutting off the end with a chain saw, yes the trunk is outside the house, but it was loud and messy! Owen and I did not help in this endeavor. The final product kept falling over, at least 3 times. So Chris has it secured by string and screws. This is nothing new to me, as I grew up with 20+ft tall trees that always had to be secured to the staircase/bannisters with string for safety. It is so funny to hear the words out of Chris's mouth, this year much more positive than the last during this process! Is there a laser pointer cutting edge thing to ensure a straight edge...Even with a straight edge they lean sometimes..
