I'm a Lumberjack and I'm Okay...

Luckily you can't see the dress I'm wearing...

Emma's been so insistent about getting the Christmas tree. Well today was the day. This is the first time we've gone to a place where you cut down your own tree (and lug it back to the barn to be shaken, wrapped and tied to the roof of the car). It was a lot of fun and not may people there either. It's also still freezing cold here in Portland, the ground was rock hard and there were lots of little "stumps" to trip over. Made for a bit of an adventure. And ironies of ironies, Emma would not come with us to choose the tree. She stayed in the warm car. I think she has the makings of a great CEO.

Looks like tomorrow is the big Christmas decorating push. Should be a long day.

[BTW, this is another Holly operated photo. I think of her as my voice activated self-timer.]
