Behind the Scenes

Buying the Christmas tree is only the beginning. Next comes the official Is It Straight Debate. The debate goes something like this..

"Is it straight?"... "No"
"How bout now?"..."sorta"
"What about from your angle"... "No"
"Is it straight now?"

...and it goes on and on.
Half of the debate teamMom planned for a woodsy look this year so she's collected all kinds of animals like beavers, owls and deer. Some of them look a little creepy.Pastor Doctor took a sabbatical from hanging the lights this year. He made Kait do most of it to practice for next year (duh, husbands) A rub of the lucky forehead was definitely needed.Mom saves the dayWe all knew he couldn't sit back and watch us do it the wrong way so he added his expert help.We've collected some snazzy ornaments over the yearsIt's takes a good eye to know exactly where each ornament should hang. You have to examine it's weight, size and popularity (Snoopy definitely goes front and center).Tadaaaa! Our pretty (and a little crooked) Christmas tree!!
