A NEW TREE!

So we got our tree delivered on Thursday this week and there it sat for a couple days (it fell over twice!). But today we got to put it in its new home...Our backyard!

The kids always double check our work to make sure it's up to code.

The top layer is normal dirt. Everything below it isn't. It's thick and sticky clay! 
It kept sticking to the shovel!

Spencer pitched in too!

The hole is done!

And so is the tree! It looks great! We're so glad we did it. It was way cheaper than we thought it would be. The tree was only $180 and a delivery fee of $60. The tree is huge! It's as tall as the house. Plus we're glad we planted it ourselves. All of our neighbors thought we should hire someone. An illegal midget perhaps? Not this time Paco!
