Last week I decided to go get our tree. Sophia helped me choose a beauty! The kind man who worked there help me by wrapping it in this net thing and get it into the back of my explorer (through the hatchback and no I didn’t put anything down first…) so we get home and I got Sophia situated and decided to take on the tree solo. I somehow managed to get the tree out of my truck (did I mention it’s an 8’ tree?) then I realized it would need some work on the bottom branches so I ventured to the garage. I try to stay out of there as a general rule. It needs some purging if you ask me (sorry Jason). My search ended with a hand saw. I proceeded to saw (try) the bottom branches. I admit I failed miserably. It was a nubby mess when I was finished. Then I decided to drag the 8’ tree into the house being ever so careful to lift it off the floor as not to leave a scratch of course. I lined up the stand and tried my very best to get that tree in that stand while holding it straight. Needless to say the tree was then taken back outside to sit in a bucket until my neighbor Doug was able to help… It was quite an evening.. Amanda and baby Zane arrived just in time to help decorate!!
