We made the annual pilgrimage to choose and cut a tree.
This is the small tree lot. We kept walking.
The kids managed to cut the tree down mostly by themselves. (Nate only did ten saw strokes.)
It was only 85 degrees. Not very winterish, or fallish for that matter. But it looked like fall.
Nate looks a bit small next to the tree. It was 11 feet tall. Unfortunately, it is about 6 feet in diameter. 
The finished product. Nate was very indulgent - it is all new this year!
It looks like it takes up a lot of the room... where is your couch? Very pretty. I still have Christmas boxes and decorations everywhere, and I started Friday night after the kids went to bed. But the tree is done.
ReplyDeleteyour tree is gorgeous. We miss going out and cutting down the trees. You can do that here but our car is not dependable and we don't want to be out in the countryside and have our car quit working. We are trying to decide-fake or real- this year.
ReplyDelete11 FEET! Wow, everything is bigger in Texas.
