Last Saturday, after a pizza lunch, we decorated the big spruce tree in front of the house. We bought 800 lights at Costco, and then our son Ryan brought over his crane.
Our other son Kyle went up in the basket along with one of their friends. Way up.
Ryan positioned the basket . . .
. . . and Makita supervised on the ground.
Liz helped with untangling the lights and attaching the next strands.
We had sunny weather for this, with the temperature hovering between 5 and 0 Celsius. A good thing, since the operation took several hours.
And finally, we ended up with this:
When we finished, we celebrated by going out for Chinese Smorgasbord. Snow is predicted for tomorrow. I think our tree will look pretty.
gorgeous. hmmmm I would say Could you come and help me with my Xmas tree in Saudi Arabia but at the moment I don’t have a Xmas tree but I am planning on getting one.
I have some pretty decorations from collecting ornaments from year to year.
Looks great. What a fun thing to do . I am sure you enjoyed it all.
Merry Christmas Rolie;
Rolie – I think you need a palm tree for your Christmas tree!
Everyone needs a crane in the family 🙂
Nice job… looks so fun and festive.
Thanks Jackie, and yes, the crane was definitely handy. So was the operator and the guy in the basket. 🙂
