Oh Tamas Tree

Meredith is in love with Christmas trees and loves pointing them out everywhere we go - except that it sounds more like "Tamas Tree!" And for me, this year, I was even more excited to put up the tree than usual because our new house has what I like to call a "Christmas Tree Window." Seriously this was on my wish list when looking for a house. Neal thought this was ridiculous, luckily our realtor confirmed that she has heard this wish before. Now, I am not sure if she was trying to make me feel better or not, but I like to believe I am not totally crazy!

We did have a small issue in that we had a beautiful 9 ft tree that we bought just 2 years ago for our old house with the tallest ceilings ever was not quite going to work in our new house with 8 ft ceilings. Luckily my dad and Neal were able to chop off the bottom chunk of the tree so now it fits perfectly!

The tree topper I made this year after finally giving up on a quest to find one that wouldn't make the whole top of the tree lean over.
The completed tree - perfectly displayed in my Christmas Tree Window!
