all set

On Friday we made our annual trek to GreenBluff to cut down our tree. Unfortunately for some (i.e. Charlie) we could only cut down one. Poor kid was set on picking out the tree all by himself.

We have tall ceilings and like to get our $45 worth so we always go for the biggest tree we can find that's symmetrical and really green. The tree he picked out was nice, but I was eye level with the top of it and that would never fly with Matt.

I got stuck being the one to break the news that at the end of the day his vote just doesn't matter. Hopefully it came out nicer than that. On the way home he was pretty much the maddest I've ever seen him. He even said 'I hope next year we can get a tree I like'. It's got to be so hard being 3 sometimes...
