Christmas 2010

Back at our favorite nursery to choose this year's tree. While we are on vacation the week prior to Christmas, we'll hide the tree (keeping it safe from a curious cat) in the computer room and have the cat sitter keep it watered. Then when we return on the 25th, we'll move it to the living room for decorating.
This is the last EVER of the annaul hideous pile of boxes to be mailed to the US! No more Christmases overseas with mail delays, late packages, miles of bubble wrap, and those blasted customs labels.
Katy and Michael during the intermission of the school Christmas concert. Katy plays flute in the high school band and Michael sings in the middle school honor choir.

When we returned from Portugal, this was what remained of our Christmas tree. Evidently the cat sitter had been pouring the water into the part of the base that is open to the floor. The result is a dead tree, swollen parquet tiles, and a trail of needles out the front door after Tim dragged out the "corpse."
