We went to the christmas tree farm this afternoon. After wandering around in the freezing cold all five of us magically agreed on the same tree. It was a christmas miracle.
We picked a tree that seemed reasonable in height and girth. Toby was the master of the saw and laid on the cold wet ground and sawed his little heart out. Tristan and toby carried the tree all the way back to the car while parker, eliza and i goofed around.
We managed to get the tree on top of my car and then in the house. I'm always a little proud of myself when i get something like this done. Nothing is that difficult, just ominous - especially when you are used to things happening with another adult around.
We did learn one valuable lesson which i think the christmas tree farm would be prudent to post somewhere, the lesson? Trees look much smaller outside than they actually will be when you get them inside your house and discover you are going to have to completely rearrange your furniture and possibly give up an entire room for said tree to fit in.
We also decorated the tree without any battle or controlling behavior on anybody's part. It was a great day.
