Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown


The boys were very intent on cutting down the tree

On Saturday we finally broke down and decided it was time to get a Christmas tree. Normally we have gone to get our tree on the weekend of Thanksgiving, but I was on call the day after Thanksgiving this year and we went to Seaworld for Spencer's birthday the day after that. By the time we made it to the Christmas tree farm, the place was looking pretty picked over. The tree we chose was certainly one of the more homely Christmas trees we have had. I know that if Teressa had her way, we would just go and pick out some fancy fake tree. The tree this year was so impressive that when Cassie Schneider walked through the door, the first thing she said was, "You got a Charlie Brown tree." It may not be the very tree that Charlie Brown had, but they may be cousins.

I'm surprised ... Teressa didn't want you handling a chainsaw, yet you're letting your two young'uns handle a hacksaw?

That's what happens when you leave me unsupervised.

It isn't that bad!! Besides put some of those cute homemade kids ornaments and no one will know.
