We headed out Saturday to get our Christmas tree. We went to our local nursery and picked out a spectacular tree that was tall, nicely shaped and enough gaps to fit some of our big ornaments. Little did we know, once we got it home, the trunk of the tree was extremely crooked. We got it home and placed it in the stand only to find out it leaned about 20degress to side. How did we miss this at the tree lot?? So there was alot of trimming, alot of sawing and about two feet cut off the bottom to try and get it straight in the stand. Ugh! But an hour and half later we had it! (Don't touch the tree too hard, it might fall back over.)
Young picking out the perfect one and me holding the tree...not noticing the trunk we crooked!
Another 12inces off the tree but we got it! Time to put the lights on...
Little trees just the perfect size for the kids!!
