It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Yesterday we finally put up our Christmas tree.  Matt wanted to put it up right after we got home from our Thanksgiving trip but I thought it would dry out to quick so we waited.  Then when I checked all the bigger trees were gone, and all that were left were tiny trees.  Our elves must have overheard us talking about it, because on Friday we woke up and they had dragged this in....

A huge tree! Most definitely the biggest tree we have ever had.  It is about 9 feet tall, and about 5 feet in diameter.   Chase is sure it either came from the north pole...or they cut it down in central park.  I'm pretty sure those naughty elves broke some kind of law bringing it here, but wherever it came from, it smells amazing! 

Usually the kids decorate their own little trees, but since this tree literally took over the entire family room I decided one tree was enough.  I think Sadi had the most fun decorating (even if she complained the whole time that everyone had more ornaments than her).  Now it feels (and smells) like Christmas.  Thanks Jack and Jingle!
