Before we went to work yesterday we took a trip to get a Christmas tree ($24.99 at Lowes, great deal). When we were looking through the trees, this one caught our eye. It seemed full and straight and had great branches. We picked it out, paid and brought it home. Well, when we were putting it in the tree stand, I was in charge of directing the bottom into the stand while Mike watched the top. I kept telling him it was leaning and he kept saying it was fine. We got it in, stepped back and saw that the tree was not leaning, it is just crooked. Somehow, we overlooked the large curvature that our tree has. Standing in front of the tree it looks alright, but looking at it from the sides, you can definitely see the bend. Also, when we thought it was full, we were not wrong. This tree is bushy! We are going to have to play with it to get it to look right and fit in the small space we have for it. I will post more picture once we get it decorated.
For now Mike says we will always remember this Christmas and our tree with scoliosis!

Shelley! I love the tree! I think it is awesome you got a real one. It looks like you Thanksgiving was fun and looks like the food was delicious!
Miss you guys!
The crookedness gives your tree some personality and WOW it is bushy. You two will have fun decorating it and it will give you lots of laughs when you look back over your pictures. Can't wait to see you at Christmas. We love you both, Mom and Dad
