Yo Christmas Tree!

After much dithering, we finally got a Christmas tree from Walmart. Here it is just installed. The base was so big it barely fit in our tree stand!

Here its looking a bit fluffy. The first night Allison swore it

was bothering her allergies, so I lugged it outside the next morning where she did her best to sterilize it with the garden house.

We didn't feel like buying a bunch of plastic junk, so we decided to go for a more traditional look. Allison found directions on the internet for making some cute paper decorations.

I stuck to stringing popcorn.

Home is where the heart is!

Samuel's been getting a lot more interesting lately. Here's his latest attempt at communication. I think he's laughing at dad!
