The kids really, really, really wanted a live tree this year for Christmas. I kept telling them no, and had already put up the artificial tree. Then I got really soft one afternoon and stopped at the local FFA fresh tree stand and bought one. It is an awesome tree if I do say so myself. The best part about it, other than the extreme excitement from the kids, I bought it, I cut the trunk and the branches with a hand saw, carried up the stairs, set it up in the stand, and strung the lights all around it ALL BY MYSELF!!!!
The tree was about 12 foot tall to begin with, but I had to cut about 2 feet off so it would fit in our front room. I broke a serious sweat using the hand saw, now I know what it was like in the old days :)
The kids had to bring out the stool to reach about 1/2 way up.
Taylor kept getting braver with each ornament, reaching a little further each time.
The kids did a wonderful job
The finished tree topped with a cowboy hat.
