O Christmas Tree!
As has become a Lorow family tradition, Jeff and I went to McCurdy’s Tree Farm this weekend to select and cut the perfect Lorow Family Christmas Tree. Because we have high ceilings, we search every year for a wonderfully tall, perfectly shaped tree, and usually we have been successful in landing the perfect Douglas Fir. This year, we searched and searched in the Douglas Firs and felt a bit disappointed. But, their neighbors, the Canaan Firs, seemed to have a nice selection, and eventually we opted for one of them.
There were many more Canaan firs, so it was difficult to walk completely around our tree. But, it was tall and full, and we liked it best of all.
We now know…it’s a lot of tree. We might have been just a wee bit overzealous in our selection of this tree. It’s easily 8-feet tall, and it’s so wide at the base that you have to scoot past it sideways. See…it even almost got the best of Jeff:
I suppose we could have opted for this beauty instead. Much more manageable.
Seriously, we love our tree…as unruly as it is. It is by far the most odorific tree we’ve ever owned, and I love that! More pictures to come of how it looks in Casa Lorow.
My favorite picture from the tree-cutting excusion:
That looks like it was rough getting it up the stairs in your house!

This year however with the addition of the dog we don’t have room for a live tree. Not to mention I don’t trust him not to knock it down. Looks like you picked a beautiful tree though!
