O Christmas Tree

The lazy Roberts Family has finally got it together and put our Christmas tree up. We spent our FHE driving around looking at lights and then walking the isles of Home Depot Nursery to find the "perfect" tree. The kids were loving it and who wouldn't? Except for the cold, they could have done without that. Thankfully it didn't take long to find a great tree (especially since they had just been delivered that morning) at a great price!!
Although the best part was that Home Depot has rules that THEY must be the ones to cut the end off the tree, bag it and tie it down on your car. Well OK...you don't have to tell us twice!! The kids had a blast climbing around the open car with the heater blaring watching the workers go at it. Oh I love the smell of a real Christmas tree.
What a healthy, green tree!
Larry preps the tree stand out on the balconey.
Our little helpers are more then willing to do anything for the tree!
Isn't it exciting to hold the tree?!?
Daddy hefts the tree into the house!
Emma takes her turn cutting the netting.
And so does Sydney.
TADA...the finished product!!
(note: the "angel" tree topper..lol)

You thought you were cold getting your tree. It was in the 20's the night we brought ours home. We just took the first one we saw!
