STEP 1

 A full day of excavating the storage room in search
of the various Christmas boxes has
definitely created a mess.

 Finally all have been found. Including a few boxes
we didn't even know existed!

 After a quick sorting thru of the tree box,
   we are ready to begin the assembly of the artificial tree.

STEP 2

       Insert each      
branch
carefully.

STEP 3

Fluff branches
 out to desired fullness.

STEP 4
Even though this tree
 is artificial,
it should still be sniffed and tasted for freshness.

Yep, this one's still good!

STEP 5

After each layer it is very important to stop and rest,

 IN the tree of course!

     We sure love the sparkle of    
Christmas lights.

More layers, equals more
relaxation.

 Of course in the tree!

Addition of the top pole
is all about balance.

 Getting two different perspectives
 helps ensure it is straight.

A little to the left Fern!
Looks good Iris!
