Lowe, Our Christmas Tree

We went on our annual search for the perfect Christmas Tree.

Yep...at Lowes.  :)

As soon as we got there Cooper started saying, "I want a weawy, hooge, giant, big one!"

Thankfully for someone of Cooper's stature a 6-7 foot tree is HUGE!

Here's the one!

(Derek is blinking this picture, but it was freezing and when I wanted to take another

one he said he didn't care if there was a picture of him blinking on our blog. Ha.) 

This part was intriguing to all the male gendered people in my family...

It involved a chain saw.

Then Cooper hopped on for a ride to the car along with the tree.

And... dragging the thing in the house.  (Good thing it really isn't HOOGE.)

This was about the time I heard Derek say, "It can't ever be easy".

Although it isn't his favorite thing he was a good sport as always...

His little helpers were there to help water it and let it perk up.

Then off to bed we went so we'd be ready to decorate the next day!
