Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree






















We did it... yesterday we all went up in the mountains and picked out our Christmas tree. Good times. I was all prepared with our camera and of course my only picture is of the kids in the car while Bret is filling up the truck with gas. Oh well, such is life. I did take a video this evening though. Bret brought the tree in and it's HUGE! It didn't look that big yesterday or even this morning drying out in the carport. It's over 9 feet tall. At least we only paid $10 for the tree permit at the Ranger station. It doesn't have branches on the back which is nice because it hugs the wall. Bret put it up and said, "Well it's ready for you to do the lights." I haven't started yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish. IT'S HUGE!
Our power went out for a couple hours tonight. Long enough for Bret to get out the generator and for us to actually use it (usually that's when the power comes on - right after he fires it up).
