Part 2: Getting The Tree Into The House

After we arrived home with our tree Bryan got the stand on and the guys dragged the tree up onto the porch. We knew it would be a tight squeeze through the door but we really thought we could do it. After much discussion about how much the tree would scratch and wreck our house we decided it should be wrapped in a tarp to try and shrink it down a bit and to protect our doorways and walls.

Here are Bryan and Aaron pulling it up onto the porch.
The tree laying in front of the front door.

They tried hard to convince me that the tree would look great on the porch!

Plan B: wrapping the tree in the tarp, actually it took two tarps!

Cole and I waited patiently on the porch playing a little peek-a-boo around the wreath.

The tree is finally in the room!!

This picture does not even give a good idea of how much of the room this tree actually takes up! Stay tuned for part 3 as we are putting lights on and decorating the tree tonight and I will try and get some better pictures. We are a little concerned since we have new furniture being delivered tomorrow for that room and we aren't sure it's going to fit with that tree!
