Griswald Tree

I apologize for the insane amount of pictures, but it was an insane amount of tree!

Lincoln trying to help...while daddy measures, nope not big enough.

What about this one? 'I think it's six like us'

Nope not tall enough

Just right

Waiting and counting

We had to see how old it is since the kids learned how to do that on their field trip to the tree farm.

Dragging up to the car

Lincoln was such a good helper

Comically locked and loaded

Our little helpers

Fashioning a usable tree stand for our giant of a tree.

Markie and Jordan (our housemate at the time) helping decorate

And the family helping.

Gina went all festive and adorable on us and made her family's tradition, a rice krispie like treat but with cornflakes, green food coloring and cherries. It's the most delicious wreath I've ever eaten that's for sure!

Actually pretty perfect right? Okay the problem with posts like this in April is now I want it to be Christmas again! Don't worry Jer took appropriate notes in the home journal he keeps and  minor adjustments will be made for next year. But we aren't shying away from the potential of that corner, it was simply made to house  a beautiful Christmas tree!
