An Extra Memorable Tree! :)

 This year marks the end of a long-standing family tradition, that of going to Stinson's for our Christmas tree! We are going to miss it, and will now be looking for a you-cut tree farm in our area that will allow us to continue our annual hunt for the perfect tree! :)
 This year we accidentally chose a tree that was larger than expected! (It's hard to tell when you're standing out in a field of trees!) :) 
 We suspected the problem as soon as we began to drag it from the field! It had been raining but it seemed a bit Too heavy! :)
 I've tried to take a photo of it, but it's so big that I can't seem to capture the whole thing in the lens! ... Here, the sofa is in the way! :)

 The sofa's out of the way, but now the wall obscures a side of the tree! :)

 Now you can't see the angel! :)

 Okay, now we can't see the base of the tree or the side! :)
 ... There won't be a photo this year of the whole tree! :) ...
 When we got it home, we realized our error, and the guys ended up cutting off the bottom of the trunk before bringing it in the house. It still stood too tall, and too wide, so our son brought in my pruners and pruned the top and the entire tree while I made dinner! Now the angel is in her rightful place and we can walk around the tree! :)
 This year I not only used the chairs to trim the tree, but the step stool as well, and still needed help stringing the lights around the top of the tree! :)
 Since this is the last year we get to have Stinson's be a part of our family Christmas, I guess it's fitting that it ended up being an extra memorable Christmas tree! :)
 Merry Christmas Everyone! :)
