Welcome to Rockefeller Center

On Saturday the three of us set out to cut down a Christmas tree.  Josh, Jason's twin brother who is visiting MN, came along to experience 'the Joy of Christmas' or so it became known as throughout the day.   We all piled into Jason's Dakota, made a pit stop at Taco Bell where Josh introduced us to cheesy gorditas, and headed to a tree farm near by.

We roamed around the forest, freezing our butt off and every time one of the guys thought the entire thing was crazy they would say "Ah, the Joy of Christmas."  Well, we may have out done ourselves this year.  We wound up cutting down a 12ft tree!  That's not a typo, it really is that tall.  We have really high ceilings in our den and we wanted a tall tree to sit in the corner.  Well, we got a tall tree alright.  We had a hard time getting into the house and standing it up right, we had to lay it down in the den and figure out a strategy.

How big is the tree at Rockefeller Center in NYC?  They use a crane to haul in that sucker!  We could have used a crane as well!  All we need is an ice skating rink lol.  We had to stand on a ladder to decorate the thing.  I know, we're nuts. 

After several hours of decorating, it looks pretty good.  Massive - but good lol.
