"Oh Tom the toad, oh Tom the toad! Why did you jump into the road? "

"... You used to beee so green and fat! Now you arrrree so red and flat! Oh Tom the toad, oh Tom the toad! Why did you jump into the road?"

Some childhood habits die hard.

We decorated the Christmas tree last night! It was a blast! We put in our Trans-Siberian Orchestra DVD, strung popcorn and cranberries, and generally had Christmas spirit. Take a look!

Yes. There is no star on the top of our tree. Or any other sort of tree topper. We cut down our Christmas tree in the mountains this year with a few other families, and while that was really fun... we cut the tree a little tall. What you see here is after Trevor cut about 2 feet off the bottom. Our tree is exactly 8 feet tall, the same height as our ceiling... so there was no room for any tree topper. Maybe our next house will have 12 foot ceilings, and we can have our 10 foot tree with a 2 foot star topper!
