Holiday

Tannenbaum

We went out and cut down our tree today. Given the ice storm we had this past week, it remained pretty treacherous. The tree is currently defrosting in the kitchen, and Joe is tending to the hives he has all over his hands. (Apparently he is allergic to pine. Good to know.) For the record, James only agreed to be in the picture if he could hold the saw.

snowy day

Today is the first real snow of the year. The kids are enthralled, and not quite sure why there isn't gobs of it to make snowpeople and angels. Such is life in the south. James also decided he was willing to sacrifice the ability to twirl his hair in his fingers in order to avoid having it brushed, so he is sporting a very short cut. I'll miss his hair, but not the wailing over tangles. Win-win.
