Oh Christmas Tree

Luckily, we had a break in the rain and daddy's work Christmas parties and we were able to hunt down that perfect tree. If you know my husband and kids, you know small or even big is not in their vocabulary when it comes to Christmas trees or pumpkins. Grammie came along, too, and helped us find the perfect tree! Grandpa couldn't come; he was too busy preparing his presentation he was going to do at the National Mushroom Association meeting.



On the hunt...




Grammie couldn't get us and all the tree in the picture...hmm, maybe the first clue that it was ginormous??

It took 3 people to cut it down...
Two grown men to hold it while it was shook...
Daddy might need a bigger truck :)
Oops! Daddy's 4 wheel drive wouldn't work and it was so muddy we needed to be pulled out!

Grey trying to figure out how we were going to put the star on top....
Of course, daddy figured out a way :)
By this time, Grey was an expert tree helper so when Grandpa and Grammie got theirs, he was called in for his assistance!

Had to measure it to make sure it fit...


Grey helped haul away the trimmings to the green waste. He is such a big help!
