Melvin!!! - Our Christmas Tree 2005

We've started a tradition - naming our trees. And Melvin sure will be a tree to remember. Mostly because it is the first tree we've had together in our own home. It sure is awesome.

	The Jetta with Melvin on top. Yes, the Sawvivor claims yet another victim!!!
	Melvin up in the den. Yes. He is huge. 10 1/2 feet high, and 7-8 feet wide at the widest. Suprisingly, it was very stable in the tree stand, probably because we made extra effort to make sure it was centered right this time.

	View from the living room. It's big.
	Yep.
	Jasmine and lights.
	Me, putting lights on.

	And the tree is lit. That's right folks, 3,467 lights! No joke! 15 sets of 150, 6 sets of 200, and 7 bubblers, 10 lights in the star. That comes out to 3,467 lights. We beat last year by a large margin.
	Man, every time I see this photo, I think I look like a huge dork! Haha, well I am I guess.
	All the light in this photo is coming from the tree obviously.
	And, if you're outside looking in all you see is lights! It doesen't look like we even have a tree in there! Haha! Melvin is so huge he fills the entire window, and that window is 6 feet wide!
	Pretty awesome I say.
	Some final shots of us and Melvin.
	Me and melvin.
	Jaime and melvin. As you can see, Melvin dwarfs her.
	Yep.
	A few detail shots.
	And the obligatory abstractions.
	That's it, until next year!
