Our H-U-G-E Christmas tree

Well David and the boys went to get us a Christmas tree- they came back wih a 12 foot tree!! Now David tells me that we have had this size tree in the past. I don't think so. This tree seems especially tall you decide. Here is a picture before it is all situated and ummm straightened. Dave brought the tree in and then went back to work. The cold air coming off this tree was incredible.

So after David and the boys came back home - we got started, first we had to measure the tree- 11 feet 8 inches, and David cut off a piee at the bottom before bringing it in the house. Next came decorating--starting with Owen!?!

So after many hours of lights and bulbs and laughing, David getting a shock from a bad string of light-oops and ouchy, and begging the boys to be careful with the breakable ones- the tree was decorated. It looks very nice, but I guess next year, we are going to 'settle' on a 9 foot tree.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is turkey day here. The kids are excited about the chance to play with their cousins at Grandma's house. We have baked pies, breads and I am about to make broccoli casserole and corn casserole. Plus get the kids cleaned up. I think April (our dog) thinks she'll be joining us, because everytime we talk about g-o-i-n-g she gets up. Hmmm, she might be disappointed.

Enjoy your feast-
