Had lots of turned heads, pictures taken, and a lot of fingers pointed. I guess thats what happends when you have a 12 foot tree on the top of a van.

     Every year for Christmas we get a 7-8 foot tree, but this year we wanted to splurg a little and get a 12 foot tree, so we went on over to my friend tree farm and picked out a beautiful talll tree. When we cut the tree down we cut three feet up because the tree was to tall. We loaded this tree onto the top of our 12 foot van and cut the rest of the truncks branchs off to use around the house and such.

Getting the tree down after a long car ride home. To get it on in the first place I stood on the roof of the van with a rope while my dad, brother, and two friends helped push it up. Its heavy and very big, but so worth it.



     We got that sucker in the house, we went to put it up and it was to tall! So my dad cut a foot of thinking it would fit, and it still doesnt, so we are going to put it in a new spot and just hope everything fits, because we dont want to have to cut it again. It will take a ladder to decorate it, as you can see how short my dads 6' ladder is compared to the tree. If only we were wizards, that would make it so much easier.

 

Our 11' foot tree in the middle of the music room, we will move it so it is up against the right wall. But it sure takes up a lot of room non the less. It will also take a heck of a long time to decorate it.
