My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

And....The Big Tree is up!

17 years ago

Here's the big tree this year....It was supposed to have some new ornaments this year, but those had to be sacrificed to the new recycled sleigh tree. It did, though, get a new tree topper....my angle (one of those with the paper type gowns) has given in to the test of time.

This is my oldest tree and the one that started my obsession. This is it's 13th year and I just keep adding to it a bit each year. It's mainly gold and ivory highlighted with touches or burgundy, primarily angles, crosses and nativity. Even with everything else that I put up each year, it never truly feels like Christmas until this tree goes up!
