Jeff drug out all the Christmas stuff yesterday and then I waited. It's always his job to put the tree up and put the lights & garland on it; then I handle the ornaments! (I've got it easy but don't tell him!) He had a job to do yesterday & I couldn't get Casey motivated to put the tree up. Lo was at work until 3 so I thought; wait till she gets home, she'll get excited about it. She came in the house long enough to change clothes and leave, told me she was going to get gas and didn't come back! Talked to her at 9, she had gotten her nails done and was at a girlfriend's. Kids...gotta love 'em!
Casey put the tree up about 5 before he went out with a friend. I fluffed it while he put the branches on. His friend came over and wound up finishing while Casey was 'primping'! I was like, "Casey how'd you get out of this?" Anyway, they made a joke about fluffy bunnies...fluffin' the branches! Did you know there is a gang here in Phoenix called the Fluffy Bunnies? I find that so funny...guess they thought with that name the police would think they were "good guys"!!
I forgot how big the tree is...and just beautiful! We gave in to a fake tree when we moved here to Arizona. When we went to look at real trees, they were over $200! Wow! Back home you could get a great tree for $30 or $40; or just go out in the woods and cut one! We have been real happy with this tree; it's 7 1/2 feet tall and real full. I still have yearnings for a real tree but then I remember the mess and how they are so scratchy, and yeah, I like this tree!
So here is the first picture of our tree with no ornaments...except some wise guy put a lonely little gold ball on it! Maybe by evening, the tree will be complete and I can share more pictures!
Hope you have a great Sunday!!

What a gorgeous tree! Fake or not, that's a beauty!!
Cindy, thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting! You are so welcome there.
I've been fussing with a little tree in my study for several weeks now. This hidden one is the most fun for me, because I add a thing or two each week. Last week it was a few freshly-made dried orange slices, yesterday a few German candles with clips.
But the REAL tree, the one out in public in the living room, that we will do tomorrow, probably. No one wanted to do anything but vegitate this weekend, including me! :-)
Lovely photos. And I especially like the top bunny postcard over in your sidebar.
Your blog looks gorgeous!
$200 for a live tree in AZ?! And I thought prices going up to $30 & $50 here was out of control! (My first live tree cost $19.99 and it's killed me ever since to pay more, lol!) We're going with a fake tree this year. I'm still unsure as to how I feel about it. I've had live trees for 15 years!
Your tree looks so pretty! And I love the lights & bunny pics in this post too.
