We went to the Fort Mason tree barn to get our Christmas Tree last Saturday. Brandi insists on having a real tree. However, the tree we bought was a free range tree raised in an environmentally sustainable village in Oregon. Plus, half of the proceeds went to replanting the rain forests so kharma wise we should be covered. We tried to be festive in the process of lighting and decorating. Brandi made hot cocoa even though it was 67 degrees outside (global warming). I tried to look for a radio station playing Christmas songs but the best I could find was some weird Irish Folk hour. Must be that war on Christmas is keeping holiday music off the air!
Rex took a snooze through most of it, but he was duly impressed with the finished product. Now when we ask him "where is the light" he runs to the tree and grabs the string to show us and says "yight!"
On another note, Brandi took Rex back to our pediatrician today. He got two more shots but didn't cry because mom put the super special numbing lotion on again. Here are his latest dimensions at almost 18 months:
32.5 Inches Tall (60th percentile)
26 lbs (50th)

Great looking tree- nice job!
Thanks for putting a link to our blog on yours. It is great that Nick's mom was able to see what we're up to that way.
I was checking out the other blogs you link to- I recognized the Arnett family from your wedding. It's a shame that Paula K doesn't have comments working on her blog. I'd offer to help, but I can't post comments. :)
Keep up the great work on the blog- I check in often to see what you're up to.
Hey, Nick and Brandi - glad to see you have a blog. We're over at http://www.subtlerevealings.net and http://www.crandallnet.com. Great tree! Congrats on the tyke (only a year late, apparently)!
