We went to Home Depot again to search for a tree. This year, though, we came a couple of weeks later. The pickin's were slim, but we found one tree that would do the job.
"Love, true love . . . Marriage, that blessed arrangement . . . A dream within a dream . . . " Who can tell me where that quote comes from? : )
Trees are way cheaper in Georgia than in California! It so happens that our tree was supposed to be out of stock, but we found one anyway! It was a few feet shorter than last year's tree, but it was a lot easier to drag into the house!
"Oh, look at this cute tree. I wonder how much it is!"
"And another tree! This one is a sturdy one!"

Keva absolutely LOVES the tree. She hovered around it adoringly as we decorated it. It is all we can do now to keep her from removing every last bulb. Just like last year, she loves to take the bulbs and smash them to smithereens on the floor. And now Kody has found this a fun new activity as well. I think he's swallowed a few bulbs whole. If he survives Christmas, it will be a miracle.
Keith strung the lights, the kids put up the bulbs, and I "supervised". You can kind of see Keva in the background sitting on the floor gazing at the tree.
It was Kade's turn to put the star on the top of the tree. I love the tree topper. We bought it last year. It's a star shaped with thorns.
Kade was very relieved to finish his job because the ladder is pretty high!

Cute pictures. How much are trees in California??
Douglas Firs in CA, that are about the same size of the tree we got this year can run from $80 to $120. Douglas Firs are the less expensive variety here, whereas in CA they are the more expensive. Accessibility? I don't know.
Grandpa Stan sez the quote was from your favorite movie, The Princess Bride. It looks like a very fun day for all.
