'Tis the Season

(This is Nate) Contrary to my long held position of getting the best "deal" on a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, we went out - in November! - to cut our own tree over at Linvilla Orchards today. Was actually a very nice time, hay ride included. Have to say I did a nice job on the tree (compared to the other Dad's crooked cuts). Taking bets on whether the tree lasts to Christmas: 2-1 odds against. Off to put up the lights outside...Here's a few pictures (Note Ben "helping" me cut down the tree):
