Just kidding.
It’s so big we had to call in reinforcements – we couldn’t get it aligned by ourselves! Thanks for your help, Bobbi!
We’re letting the branches settle, and we’re hoping to decorate it this weekend!
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
I think it’s the perfect size! I’m curious how many strings of lights and ornaments you’ll fit on it 🙂
Thanks! It took 7 strands with 100 lights each 🙂 Still gotta do the ornaments!
Wow it’s huge! But as Maggie said, it’s the perfect size!
We’ll have to see if we want one this big next time too! 🙂
Wow! That is one impressive tree! Can’t wait to see how it looks all decorated…
Thanks! We got the lights on tonight! We’ll probably do the rest mid week, then I will share a pic!
That’s what she said.
Why did it take the FOURTH commenter to say this?! Come on, people! 😀
That was my first thought when I saw the post title, but I didn’t jump on it (that’s not what she said?)
Holy smokes! Is that a real tree or a fake one? It’s SO tall! It must be quite the task to decorate the whole thing!
It’s real 🙂
Wow, I have seen the “finished product” in a later post, but I guess I didn’t have Steven for scale. How tall is it?
The tree is about 11′ on its own, and its even taller in the stand!
