2008-2009 Christmas Tree - BALTHAZAR!!!!

Here goes, our awesome tree for this year...

Getting this monstosity into the binding machine. Always a fun task.
Can you believe this dude fit into there?
Pulling it through.
It looked smaller out there. Laying next to it for scale.
Jaime was stoked though!
Doing some preparations!
Lighting posed some new obstacles!
Jaime!!!!
Um yeah, it was big.
Opening it up...
Always a tense moment. The amount of pressure on the netting is intense!
Cutting...
Cutting....
Woah...
Here it comes...
Balthazar started unfolding!
Okay, it's kind of big.
Yep, definately big. We thought we were going to get a normal sized tree and failed miserably!
Hugeness!
Let's get this puppy lit...
Almost ran out but had just barely enough!
 
It was grueling work but someone had to do it!
All lit up!
Bubblers and garland time...
Jaime proud.
All done!
What a nice looking tree. It is 11 feet high and was 9 feet wide out of the netting. I trimmed the width down a bit, but still easily 7 feet wide.
Awesome.
3219 lights on this dude! 16 sets of 200 + 12 in the star and 7 bubblers.
Outside the house, Balthazar just looks like a huge wad of shinyness.
Yay!
The end until next year anyways!
