The tree - this is what you end up with when you send your husband out on a dark, cold and rainy night. This poor tree is so short and fat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To give you an idea of just how "fat" the tree is this year - compare it to the teee from last year on the left. |

Oh wait, we are supposed to hook the candycanes... |

Reason #467 not to leave your 3yr old and 10mo old in the pantry unsupervised. You open the door and find this. A gave it to him and he went to town. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are going to take it away, aren't you? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What if I look really cute, will you still take it away? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will you still take it away if I suck on it really really hard? |
