ten days ago we were busy carving pumpkins; today we bundled up and headed to the carnation tree farm to select and secure our 2011 wheeler family christmas tree. my, the calendar pages pass quickly.
before we left, summer shared with us a few of her ideas on how best to cut down the tree: 1) daddy will shoot it with his gun. 2) she will knock it over with her princess wand. and after a brief discussion on why methods (1) and (2) were less than ideal, she finally settled on 3) she will bring her blue plastic saw to cut through the trunk.
ah, the physics of a four year old.
but after giving it her best go, summer eventually had to concede -- a little unwillingly -- to daddy cutting down our douglas fir with a much larger and a definitely not plastic saw. then our tannenbaum was baled, brought home, and the girls and i settled in for a winter's nap while bryan made dinner (really, what's there not to love about my life?). when we woke up, we enjoyed watching micky's christmas and treating ourselves to top pot doughnuts and deliciously rich sipping chocolate.
the christmas season can officially begin.
