T-I-M-B-E-R...

For the last time! So, the Christmas Tree went down for the 4th and last time at the Tuttle house! This time the base was filled with water and it soaked almost all the presents. (For those of you who enjoy wrapping presents - imagine getting to tear them open and re-wrap everything!) When we picked it up - there were more needles on the floor than on the tree and we had sap every where. I had enough and to L&M we went to get a 1/2 off fake Christmas Tree. No more needles, sap and water to deal with! I feel semi-bad about not having a real tree; however, we have had terrible luck this year and our tree looked horrible! So, here are the pictures of the fallen tree...This is just one of the many scoops of needles that I swept off the floor... imagine that they fell off all the way through the house - I am still getting dust pans full of needles days after! And now to introduce you to our new tree... 7.5 foot tall, pre-lit and
easy assembly - messes not included! :) It is truly beautiful!

Yay! The new tree looks MUCH better! Especially since it's actually standing with no water needed or mess to deal with later.
I'm glad you made the switch.
Can't wait to celebrate in a few days!
