The day after Thanksgiving we were off to the Black Forest Tree Farm to pick out the biggest tree we could find for Grandpa's new barn!
We found our perfect tree! Asher guarding it while Daddy went to grab the saw.
It actually started snowing while we were there, so the kids had fun running around catching the flakes.
When Daddy had it almost down, the farm owner came running over in a panic asking if we had a truck to
haul that monster tree! It's so big that he wasn't able to wrap it, just had to tie it down and drive carefully.

We used a pulley type system to hang it in the barn. The cord had a bit too much stretch in it, so we had to add a jack to lift it into place!
Whew, finally in place!
Uncle J is 6'5". On top of a ladder and with an extended grabber thingy, he still struggled to place the angel on top.
Time to decorate!
13ft tall and 11ft wide! Now THAT's a tree!
