The Tree Is Up!

Our friends the Bootons had a tree cutting party at their property in the mountains on Sunday, so we have another authentic Colorado Christmas tree this year.  Dave & Juli are creating "defensible space" around their log cabin home, just in case a fire comes along some day.  This beauty is actually the top 7.5 feet of a 45 foot blue spruce.  It came down and got tied to the top of our van in less than 5 minutes thanks to Dave's superior tree spotting skills and his 3 foot chain saw.  Tonight after dinner, the Kelly family put on some Christmas music and trimmed the tree.  Merry Christmas!
