O Christmas Tree

Last Saturday we braved the cold and more importantly the bitter wind to take the kids out to pick out the family Christmas tree for 2007. It was so cold that we minimized our time outside and took the first tree that was short enough to fit in our house. It had just barely been taken off the truck and unbound so we did recognize or appreciate just how full this tree was. To quote Clark Griswald, "... a little full, lot of sap."

We got the tree inside and mounted and quickly discovered that we may have to do some trimming. So, since Michelle is the artist of the family, I got her the hedger and she went to town. You probably don't do that every day! After it was all said and done the tree looks great and we already have presents to put around the tree.

Just don't ask Michelle about ticks in the tree!

I always thought Michelle was more handy than David! Good work on the tree. I think there must be a good follow up story with the ticks.
