so ever since, oh, the middle of November, i've been dreaming about a Christmas tree. So last Sunday we went up to Winter Park with some delightful friends and chopped one down!
At first we were hesitant about the two-hour drive, but since it had snowed the previous day and Sunday turned out to be gorgeous, it was the perfect tree-cutting day. Five couples tromped out into the woods with one saw and one hatchet, and somehow we all made it back with perfect (albeit different) trees.
Ours took awhile to find, but when we did, RL dubbed it the "crown jewel" of Christmas trees, then hung his hat on it to stake his claim. Also so we could find it again. We brought him home, and I gave him the more appropriate name of "Ed" and decorated him up!
(The blur on RL's lap is Little the cat, who is very upset because RL tied a little red ribbon around her neck. Little don't jive with costumes.)
Now for some presents to go under it! I love Christmas.

The best Christmas tree ever

Awesome tree guys!
When I was little, one time my parents had a real potted tree for Christmas. The idea was to plant it after the holidays, which they did. We moved from that house soon after, so I have no idea how big it is today, or even if it's still there. But when we look at pictures, we always dub that tree our Charlie Brown tree. But it had character.
I love that you guys chopped down your own tree (it was at a farm and not just someone's unfenced land, right!).
You're becoming very domesticated!
So Charlie Brown. I love it.
