Even though Jason and I have been married for 7 1/2 years, and Jackson is 3 1/2, we never bought a real tree. We have had a little fake 3 footer for the longest time, but nothing bigger. Sooooooooooo, we kinda went nuts with getting our first live, big tree. It seemed smaller at the tree farm... We have a 20 foot vaulted ceiling and it is about 2 feet shy of that.
A little explanation- we went to the tree farm intending to get a 6 foot or so tree. Chop it down, take a picture and tie it to the top of the Tahoe. When we arrived, there was this huge tree leaning against a barn with a price tage of $24. Surely not! Someone came over and asked us if we were interested. The deal was that someone had cut it down the week before and then changed their minds. They just wanted it gone. SOLD! We did go and hack down a little tree for memory's sake and put it in Jackson's room.
Christmas tends to bring out the kid in you, don't you think?
