Today I took advantage of a rare Saturday off and went with Kelly to get our Christmas tree. We loaded up the iPod with Christmas tunes…
…and headed for our favorite, rugged, cut-your-own family-owned Christmas tree farm. (None of these pre-cut-and-wrapped sissy trees for us!) We quickly selected one that would work…

Hanging the lights… the first time I tried it I got the whole tree wired, only to realize that the bottom half wasn’t lit. Tried again with a new string of lights (testing them first this time). Got the tree wired, and the bottom half wasn’t lit AGAIN! Third time was the charm and Christmas was saved.
Kelly hanging the stockings…
Self-portrait of sorts…
The finishing touches…
It’s been a good day.
