We cut our tree down again this year. We decided we wanted a bigger tree-- you know.... get our money's worth since it was one price any size. Tyler and makenzie were so excited-- they remembered how much fun it was last year. Last year the day we cut down our tree was the same night that Austin was born so it has good memories for all of us and we want to make it a Christmas tradition.
Mike found this beauty--- Perfectly shaped, just the right size......or so we thought. Somehow we significantly misjudged the height of our ceilings
and the height of the tree. We got home, brought it inside and tried to put it up and couldn't get it past a 45 degree angle. We had to cut almost 2 feet off!!! Now it fits but it is so wide in girth that when you sit on our couch you can't see the TV. And forget about seeing the clock on the wall behind it. Mike keeps trying to convince me that it is "majestic" and "regal". The tree is so big and tall that the star on top looks microscopic. Next year we'll have to reign it in a bit but for now we are going to enjoy our gigantic "majestic" christmas tree.

Wow...funny - it doesn't LOOK that big in the picture. It's got to look better than our seriously puny one.
Hahahaha! I love it! I want to see pictures of it inside your house. Do you know if you're coming out for Christmas yet? If not, I need to mail your gifts.
It is like the Griswalds!
That's hilarious that you guys got such a big tree...a fun tradition though! I'd love to get a real tree one of these days! :)
So funny! My mom did that every year growing up! My dad would hate the tree cutting experience because she would always pick one way to big. They'd "discuss" the issue and mom would always get her tree. We'd get home and have to cut tons of the bottom and sometimes the top off. Then he'd have to jimmy-rig it up with fishing wire cause it was so big it would topple over. It did topple numerous times! So funny! We loved our huge trees! I can just picture the majestic beauty now!
What a crack up! My mom's fake tree is too big so she just doesn't put the top section up. Yes, you read that right, the TOP section. Just envision it. Brian makes so much fun of her...behind her back.
