Want to know the story??

Glade, Amy, Emily and I went to Tai Pan Trading the day after Christmas to get a 12ft Christmas tree for next year. The savings was too exciting for us to pass up. Amy got herself a flocked tree for next years festival of trees. Glade and I bought two trees. A 9ft skinny and a 12ft skinny pencil. We brought them home and left them in the garage.

Today yes today we finally put our Christmas decorations away. Glade and I got this bright idea to set up our trees just to see what they would look like. He put the 9 ft up fast. Then came the 12ft, there was no base. He called Tai Pan Trading and they said it was a good thing that he called because they were sending out all of their Christmas stuff to a warehouse. The lady said if he was smart he would head down there NOW!! So he did. He spent awhile going the rounds with the stock person who was trying to give him a huge tree stand. Then they found a smaller one. Glade walked out a happy person. He came home and proceeded to put up the 12ft tree. He ran into another glitch there were two of the same pieces. (by now he is scratching his head) He could not for the life of him figure out how to fix this problem. SO yes he packs up the tree and heads to Tai Pan Trading again....

The sales lady looks at him like oh no not him again. Between the sales lady and the stock people they put together a whole tree which included the huge tree stand that he should have gotten in the first place. But who knew. He came home ever so happy put the tree together. Now you can view the finished product.

Amy and I are going to have a lot of fun decorating these trees.

Wow... sounds like quite the ordeal! I am glad it all worked out. Those trees are so tall, even with my dad standing on the chair, there are still a few feet of tree standing tall above him! We miss you all and I need to plan my next trip out to visit :)
