The Monster TREE!
Yesterday I made a dreadful mistake, now let me tell you that I seldom make a mistake...well one that I will admit anyway, I let my hubby poo and baby girl pick out our christmas tree. Before they left the house I reminded them that I didn't want a BIG tree...just 6-8 feet...NO BIGGER.
They returned from their shopping trip, pulling into our yard with at least 3 feet of tree hanging over the hood of our vehicle...I have a GMC Envoy, a very large verhicle and there was still 3 FEET of tree hanging over the top...I couldn't believe my eyes. My six foot tree looked to be at least 12 feet but I decided to wait and see what it looked like when they brought it in the house. Hubby poo had to recruit a neighbor to help him haul the gigantic thing thru our front door, he layed it in the living room and it took up the entire floor. Hubby and baby girl were so excited that they had picked the perfect tree...I was beside myself trying to figure out how I would rearrange my living room to accommodate the monstrosity. I tried very hard not to get upset, I didn't want to dampen their, otherwise, perfect day. They cut the end off the tree and begun the task of putting into the tree stand, that was actully a size or two too small for the thing, then well all huffed and puffed and pushed and pulled and twisted and spun the tree into place. Hubby then had to get the LARGE ladder from the garage in order to put the angel on top of the tree...then the lights...then we were all to tired to do anything else. Baby girl recruted a couple of her friends this evening to finish decorating my "6 foot" christmas tree. Here are some pictures of the elves at work... 
I will post a picture of the finished product if it EVER is finished!!!!
