It's been almost two weeks ago now since we put up the Christmas tree, but I just now have a chance to share some of the pics. We got a really great tree this year from a new favorite on Fremont St. It's a family owned business that's super-friendly. They have this device where you can put the stump of the tree into a shaker that gets all of the rain off the tree before you load it up to come home (a must have for Portland). Once all the rain was off the tree they put it through a binder for you before you're ready to go.
Here's a shot of us with the tree pre-decoration:
As usual, Andrew helped me string the lights on the tree:
And the finished product:
As kind of a neat aside you can check out our Christmas tree pics from last year to see how much the kids have grown (and how much weight I've lost).
