12/24/09 Karen and I watched the cousins while the rest went in to the rec center. After they got back Phillip, Matt, Haley and I went on a ditch run. We hadn't gotten a tree yet. Most of the trees in the stores have been cut for a month and I'm quite sure I would just have a pile of needles in my living room. Phillip manned the chain saw and Matt went along for laughs. When Haley colored a picture of getting a ditch tree she appropriately colored the scrub cedar brown. It took a LONG time for the ice to melt off before we could put ithe "tree" in the living room. Matt's facebook caption was... "You know you are a red neck when your Christmas tree comes from a ditch." Ham, cabbage salad and corn for lunch. In the afternoon we went to the coop for some chips and spinach artichoke dip. Then before putting the little ones to bed, we watched a little bit of " It's a Wonderful Life", sat in front of the tree for a while and sang a few songs.
