O Christmas Tree!

The weekend after Thanksgiving we made our 3rd annual trip to Young's to cut our Christmas tree. We love the tree farm at Young's; it is such a great way to start the holiday season! After Jack road around in the sled and we found the (not so perfect) tree, we returned to their barn where there is popcorn and hot chocolate and lots of friendly people who take your tree from you and fix/wrap it up. They shook the needles off, drilled a hole for the treestand, and even tied it to the top of our car!

Jack didn't seem too thrilled with the sled ride...

...but he did seem to like the trees (or maybe it was the tree saw that he liked.)

Either way, we had a great time, but our tree still isn't decorated. Thats right...we have had a bare tree in our living room for going on two weeks now. I'm starting to learn - that is life with an 8 month old. Things get done - slowly - if at all. Don't get me wrong, Jack is more fun by the minute, but I'm starting to dread the state of our household when there are TWO!

Blog Delinquency...

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long delay between posts, but it's been a little hectic at the Teemer household.

Since I, Jon, am a terrible blogger, please bear with me as I try to post some new pictures.

The first is of Jack all bundled up just before we took him to the annual "Christmas in Springboro" held in late November. It's a festival where the streets of our town are blocked off and lots of vendors set up their booths and sell their Christmas goods and food. It's good for something to do on a freezing cold November Saturday. Does this picture remind anyone else of a scene in The Christmas Story?

The next one is of Jack's newest toy, a ride - on tractor:
