oh christmas tree!

Yesterday, we went with some of our friends to cut down our Christmas Tree. We've gone to the same place for the past 4 years, and I think we'll try a new place next year. It was very sad how little all the trees were this year! Lilly's goal was to "pick the perfect tree" and she did. She found one and said "that's it, it's our tree" so we got it (even though it has a huge bare spot near the top and is rather skinny). It was actually great weather for it - sunny and not too cold. There were no injuries (unlike last year when Pete got hit in the eye with a bungee cord), even though we did let Lilly use the saw briefly.
