Annual holiday tradition: picking out our tree at the CYO lot.
December 2006: just toddling around in soft-soled shoes. falling down a lot. picking up sticks. always smiling. Last year Helen and I went to a mother daughter cookie exchange instead of getting the tree.
December 2007: more sure on the feet. running faster. still falling down, but not so much. still with the sticks and the smiles. We opted out of the cookie exchange this year; we won't be missing our family tree selection again.
