Oh...Christmas Tree? Really?

Well, I've been wanting to post this blog for about a week now, but our computer at home is being silly and takes about half an hour to upload one picture to Blogger. So I uploaded them all to Myspace so I could save them to the computer here at work and get this thing posted!

Since we are unbelievably broke this year, Trey cut down a pine tree while at work to bring home. Too bad he didn't think to measure it first. It curved against the ceiling!



Here's Trey inspecting the tree, trying to figure out the best way to cut it down to size. I made the mistake of telling him to cut it from the bottom...



Trey cut it down, and we set it up, but now it looks so... ghetto...lol

We couldn't find our Christmas ornaments, and only enough lights to cover half the tree, but thankfully a huge bag of ornaments and lights magically appeared on my living room floor the next day. (Thanks, Jules!)



I made a wreath last year, and it made it through the move, somehow.



My happy little Casey. He doesn't care what the tree looks like, so neither do I. (Too bad I can't get the kid to keep his clothes on.)



Well, there ya go. Our comical Christmas tree.

From the picture message you sent, the tree looked a lot punier than in these. The tree really isn't that bad, Rachel. Just awkward looking, lol.

That's one big tree. I agree, I like the picture of your husband just staring at it. I think the tree looks great!
