O' Christmas Tree

We got our Christmas tree this year from our land across the street.  The kids and I went out searching for one and we stumbled upon a tree that we hoped would work!  My main concern was the tree's skinny base fitting into our tree stand.  We went out together as a family and Ryan cut it down.  The base was too skinny to fit, so he cut wood and placed it around the base so it could fit.  We ended up decorating the tree with LOTS of ribbon.  (My friend, Tera, gave me ribbon to use.)  The bottom of the tree isn't super full, so the ribbon helps, I think.  I love our tree.  I think it is my favorite that we have ever had.  I am already on the look for another tree that may work for next year.  There are a couple possibilities in the woods! :)
