Friday Foto - Yeah, I had to lift my son up to get the star on this Christmas Tree...

Yup...  A 9 or so foot tree.  Same cost as the rest of them up there on the hill when we went to cut it down.  So we decided to cut down the largest one we could find.  I had to wire it to the beam to be sure that it wouldn't fall over, since the stand said that I could have a max tree of 6 feet, and this was about 9 feet tall.

Here my son is getting ready for me to have him help put the star on the tree.   

Getting star for Christmas Tree 

I thought I could have him do it on my shoulders, but I wasn't tall enough.  So I stood on a chair, and I still wasn't tall enough.  So I had to stand on a chair and raise my son up to get the star on the tree... 

  Hanging Star on Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas everyone!

Perhaps a ladder would have been easier? This from a person who as a kid fell off a chair and broke my leg. :) I'm just saying... Looks like your son was having a blast Chris! Thanks for sharing!

Chris, VERY CUTE!! The picture brought back memories.  We have so many pictures of our children putting on that top angel.  My children are now 25 and 28 so they are no longer putting the angel on my tree but their own.
