o christmas tree

we dragged the boys out with us to smolak farms for our annual christmas tree hunt over the weekend.



you'd think that chopping a tree down yourself would result in a discount, but no - one price - no matter what size. our basement apartment doesn't allow for very much of a tree, so it was good that wilhelm was on the hunt for the biggest (and skinniest) tree he could find. we like to think that between the two, we got our money's worth. oh yeah, they also throw in a wreath.



this year's drought made for a lot of funny looking trees with these long weird tops. ron aptly dubbed them "cindy lou-hoo" trees.



after a round of bailey's, we soon had this result. ahhhh....
