A few Saturdays ago Bryan, Ezekiel and I set out to find the prefect Christmas tree. We were looking for a tree that was at least 10 feet tall so we could get at least 1000 lights on it. Ezekiel loves lights so I wanted to make sure it lit up the room. After we drove over 40 miles we ended up finding a tree at a lot less than one mile from our house. When we were out in the field we realized, once again, that it’s hard to tell how tall a tree is just by looking at it. So, we picked out a tree that looked pretty good and after Bryan sawed it down we carried it to the car. Luckily we had help bailing the tree and putting it on top of the car.
Once we got the tree home I measured it and it was 11.5 feet. I have been working slowly on hanging the lights on the tree and I finally finished yesterday. We think there are between 1400 and 1600 lights on the tree. We ran out of lights so I took some strands from the “outside” light stash and I think a few of them had 200 lights per strand. Bryan helped me put the ornaments on the tree last night and when Ezekiel woke up from his nap he stared in awe at the bright Christmas tree.
*The ladder next to the tree in the 4th picture is 7 feet 8 inches tall. It’s to give you an idea of how tall the tree is.
I think you get your love for big Christmas trees from grandma & grandpa Feusier and their Christmas tree ranch……
It’s beautiful……..
Ezekiel is a very lucky boy to have such caring parents….
May your Christmas be filled with “HIS” light…..
What we won’t do for our children. I remember the year when you (Christy) said all I want for Christmas is a live Christmas tree. Keep making those memories. You beat your Dad by having the most lights on a tree!!!!
