Yesterday was the day for our yearly outing to find the perfect gargantuan tree for our Christmas celebrations. (oh, how daring of me. Calling it a Christmas tree instead of something more politically correct!) It was a little different because our time at the u-cut place went a little like this:
Me: So. Do you think you could get us a tree cut and on our car in 20 minutes or less?
Parry: Sure thing! What kind of tree are thinking of?
Me: At least 12 feet. Ok....at least 11.
Parry: Did you know there is another u cut down the street for crazies? (nah...that's just what he wanted to say.)
So it turns out that taking a picture of a 12 ft tree with a 50 mm lens is quite the task, which is why I have, for you, a picture of the bottom half of my tree. "What is in the delicious red suitcase at the bottom of your tree?" you ask. Why, that is a genius idea I had around 11 pm last night that required minimal effort on my part. You see, we have a bundle of Bethlehem dress up that we pull out every Christmas Eve for a little Nativity Skit starring the Kang Girls. This year, those costumes are staying in said suitcase, along with a baby Jesus, to be played with all December long. If I may say so myself, it is brilliant.

And the suitcase is red. Double awesome.
I am not satisfied with the tree pic.....I need the full spectrum! Can't you lay on the floor and look up??? come on now!
that is a HUGE tree - I can tell by how tiny the suitcase looks.
Where are the dress-up pictures?
