It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Continuing in our family tradition since the birth of Lotus in 1994, we trekked to the Christmas tree farm, saw in hand, to choose--and chop--our tree. Last year, the first year in our new home with the 10-ft ceiling in the family room, we chose a 9 ft tall tree. Beautiful, though very difficult to drag, even more difficult to set up (never mind the scraping of paint off the walls and trim!) and impossible to dispose of. And yes, we're still finding needles from that tree!

This year, in anticipation of yet another move (once again post-poned indefinitely), we chose a small, yet perfectly shaped tree. What I like best about it is that I can carry it in one hand and maneuver it just fine. Much better!

Buzz and Lotus had the honors of decorating it. Here it is today, in all its glory. Oscar thinks it's just fine.
