We felt pretty good about ourselves last night, having gotten the tree in the house, strung with lights, and decorated, all on the day after Thanksgiving, with the help of Amy's parents. This morning we discovered a slight issue, in that the water bucket had cracked about halfway down the side. Yesterday the bucket was only somewhat deformed due to a couple of lower branches that I figured didn't need to be removed, but this morning realized they probably should have been... luckily Amy's parents were still here, and with their help (again) we were able to raise the tree, now fully unfurled and decorated, out of the busted bucket so I could saw off the troublesome branches, and then lower it into a different bucket that we found from last year.
The tree and bucket are still in good shape this evening, and hopefully they will remain so until we take the tree down after Christmas!
And finally, happy birthday Mom!
