The Tree

I haven't posted anything in a while, but we sure have been busy. Here we are cutting down the annual holiday tree. Things got a little chaotic and I think the pictures of Travis holding the saw really capture that....you know you are stressed when you ask the 5 year old to hold onto the very sharp saw ???!!! Perhaps mom shouldn't have been so preoccupied with documenting the cutting of the tree. The good news is nobody got hurt and the tree is up in our house as well as all the holiday trimmings. We also have a new elf named tooty-fruity. He flew here from the North Pole and his first sighting was sitting on our antique Rudolph. I can't wait to see where else he gets spotted in our house (if the special elf power helpers don't forget to move him every night)
