Oh Christmas Tree 2011

Christmas Tree Time!!! Is it me or does this one seem just a tad smaller than our previous ones. All I know it was the best on the lot and Donna stole right out of the hands of another family looking at it!!!



I don't use hand saws that bind and stick due to the pine pitch. POWER TOOLS baby!!!







There are always some final adjustments, just tweaking the base screws getting the top to lean a little more to the right.















If this picture had sound
you could hear ' Rockin around the Christmas tree, Have a happy Holiday'. Cait thinks I'm nuts







Now placement of the ornaments is a science. Some are sets and need to be together, others are to similar and need spacing, and god forbid there be any blank spots!
"Is this OK, Dad?!"

"Looks good to me Cait, Hey why are all your ornaments in front and at eye level?"



Donna filling in the holes left by the other two!?!
For those who know those ornaments in her hands are Ellie, Kodiak and Amelia!!!





Job finished, time for a group shot!







Our animal even love to gather around the tree. Lexie has been waiting all year to lay under it again. She got her wish right up until Donna put all the presents under it and she had no place to lay. Meanie!!!

(side note: taken by Donna with no one else home to assist getting the animals together)





Donna's 2011 ornament.

Queen of the Punch Buggy Game!






The GoodHale ornament. Getting tougher to find new ones each year!













Brad's 2011 ornament. He does love getting mail!









Cait's 2011 ornament. Care to guess what this one signifies?????



Merry Christmas from the GoodHales!!!!
