too much of a good thing

ONce we got the tree home and started trying to figure out how to get it in and standing, we realized we had a small problem...


We have cut about 7 feet off the tree, and it still is taller thank I expected. You just wouldn't believe how much smaller they look in the forrest than in your living room. (by the way, we now know our ceilings are no where near 30 foot tall.)
