Quick post with a few pictures today! :)
Update on Jim: The GI specialist is unsure about the problem that Jim is having. He goes in on Wednesday for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Fingers crossed that it's just ulcers and nothing more serious. I'm nervous about the whole thing, but hopeful that they'll find something (small)so he can move on!
Okay, soooo in our new house we have these beautifully tall vaulted ceilings. And we measured to see just how big of a Christmas tree we could get. LOL! The area that I planned on putting a tree isn't that wide, but definitely tall. I happened to see a tree at Hobby Lobby that I loved...it's 12 feet tall! I was instructed that I could only spend the money on it if it went half off...it was really expensive. Hobby Lobby had their trees marked down 40% for probably the last 3-4 weeks but I just knew they would drop them to 50% off soon. And they did this week! Yay! So we went and bought the tree and left the two boxes (yes it came in TWO boxes) in the living room. I didn't see the point of taking them downstairs just to bring them back up in a couple of weeks! So we kept saying, gosh I hope it fits there, etc. etc. etc. So tonight Jim started putting it together. LOL! Usually we don't put it up this soon. Our lights got put up last weekend only because it was in the 70's! We won't turn them on until after Thanksgiving. I'm usually a "day after Thanksgiving" kind of gal for decorating. Anyways, he said he just wanted to make sure it fit. Well, it was interesting putting it together...to say the least. We ended up having to use an extension ladder to get the top part on.
Step ladder for section 4!
Lights on before all the branches were spread.
After spreading most of the branches.

I thought you said the tree was going to stay in the box until after Thanksgiving! It looks gorgeous. Tell Jim I said good luck. I had those both done at the same time too and it sucked. Hope he starts to feel better!
