This year, we introduced Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Matthew to the joys of cutting down your own tree. Last year we walked down to the tree lot (just outside our subdivision) in flip flops and sweated buckets sawing and sawing at the tree. This year Derek literally had the whole tree cut in under a minute. NB for next year: make sure the saw they give us is sharp!

Wait… I forget. Are you just making Derek deal with it? I thought he was allergic to trees? I approve, tho! 🙂
He thought he was, too, but not to cedars (I guess they’re lower pollen than spruce?).
