Catch-up

Did you wonder if my new year's resolution was to stop blogging?
We have been plagued by either non-existent or extremely slow internet this week, perhaps due the to cold (not sure, but it sounds like a good excuse).
 
I realized that I never posted pictures of our Christmas tree:
 
The choosing


 
The decorating


 
The tree on Christmas morning

 
How our poor tree ended up
It started raining needles the week after Christmas (yes, we were diligent about watering it).
By the time Epiphany arrived, I was thinking it was a fire hazard. After taking all the ornaments, popcorn and light off, this is what was left. The needles were an inch deep around the tree.

Thomas had a new mountain to climb.

 
 
We got part of the "polar vortex". It. was. cold.
The small print says, "No shoes, no shirt, no problem!"
Eight degrees outside

She looks like it was no problem, huh?
