Big Ole Tree

On Monday, we had our 3rd annual raising of the 12 foot Christmas tree. Josh's brother, wife and kids came over to help us man-handle and decorate......this is their tree but it is out on loaner to us as it doesn't fit in their current house. And we love it!! It fills up our room well and is so pretty to look at. This is definitely a Christmas highlight for me (I also don't do a lot of the "lifting or setting up" so the guys may not share my sentiments:) The tree is also a great conversation piece when people come over:)
