Putting the slightly stubborn stand together

Oh, Tannenbaum!
Deck the halls! We got our Christmas tree this weekend! It was our first live tree, so we also had to get a tree stand and some ornaments. Our cute little douglas fir is about 5 feet tall, and its trunk is slightly S-shaped so it looks kind of crooked from some angles. Here are pictures of the tree setting up process:
Bringing in the tree
The Lowe's man cut the tree bottom crooked, so Jeff had to saw it straight. One problem: we have no saw. Jeff got out his Leatherman fold-up tool, which has a small finger-sized saw in it. He managed to saw the bottom of the tree off! Nice work.
Bringing our Christmas tree home made the Christmas Spirit extra strong here at the Boone home... it snowed that night! Jeff woke up Sunday morning and took a few winter wonderland pictures. burrrr
Our cute little Christmas nook: Sunday night, we decorated the tree and hung the stockings that I made last week over the "fire"... Jeff found a 10 minute fire video on youtube and we played it on repeat on the TV all evening. Even though it wasn't warm, it really added a nice ambience to our decorating. Christmas, here we come!

I didn't realize it snowed that much out here. When was that? As for the tree the previous owners left their fake tree in the house. Celeste was hoping we would get a real one but stingy ways wouldn't allow it since we had a nice FREE tree in the basement!
