In 2009, we fulfilled a dream and had our first tree that was over 7 1/2 feet tall. The total height of the tree when decorated is right at 12 feet tall. That is pretty big once you consider that we only live in 900 square feet of home, the four of us. The vaulted ceilings really lent themselves to the tree and we will do it every year.
In the future, once the earth shelter house is complete we will have a much larger tree in the grand entry way... hopefully in two Christmases.
The video is just over 4 minutes and features some of our special ornaments that come from our families history and that of Jennifer's Great Aunt Bebe and parents, Judy and Wayne Reynolds.
