Christmas Tree 2011

Date:  Nov 29, 2011

First, you must order a tree.  Pay money, and then wait for the tree to come.

We bought our tree from Far East Flora @ Farrer Road.

We always buy a real christmas tree, simply because every morning, you want to smell the fresh pine wood smell in your home, when you wake up.  It will make you so relax and so fresh!

Our tree came 3 days later.  So, we had an early dinner, and pop by Fast East Flora to pick, choose, and bring home a Christmas Tree.

Jay Jay decided to pick this one.

The tree is 7 feet tall.  It is 1 feet shorter than the tree we had last year.  Last year, our tree was huge but it is also hard to handled.  Nearly can't get into the car.  Almost can't get into the lift.  And it occupied almost a lot of space in my living room.

If you want to know how they wrapped the Christmas tree, here is the video link from facebook which I posted earlier.

And how do we ship the tree back, of course, using our car.  The 307SW simply does a good job in that.  Just fold down the two seats, and you can slide the Christmas tree in.

Forgot to mention, this is Kay Kay's first time to bring home a Christmas tree from Far East Flora.  I think Jay Jay has done it 4 times.

I don't think it is a challenge to bring this upstairs.  Manageable!

Hey, let's see who is taller.  Of course is the tree, silly.

What you doing Kay?

Ah... It is also Auntie Lorna's first time seeing a real Christmas tree.  And it fits inside the lift.

I love the pine wood smell.

No problem at all moving it into the house.

Wah!  the Christmas Tree is so fat!

I think it needs three person to hug it.

What are you doing?  Hanging the Angry Bird?

Me too!  I want to hang Angry Birds.

Let's walk together to hang the angry birds.

I am tall enough to hang it.

OK.  Now, we need to feed COLD WATER to the tree.  So, let's put in some ice.

Yes Kay.  Place the ice into the base of the tree.

Koko will help you.

Don't worry, Mommy will help you too.  Quick, put the ice there into the base bucket.

What a hard work.  Let's eat.

Eat what?

Long time never see each others, so, the parents gang decided to meet up at a dog-friendly, and kids-friendly place.  Brussels & Sprouts http://www.brusselssprouts.com.sg/ seems like a nice place to go.  It's been couple of years I have not been to this place.
