christmas: the tree

we made our annual trek to a family farm in elgin, texas to chop down our christmas tree. this year, we waited until a week before christmas, for fear that the tree would not fare well in the house of pickle. amazingly enough, atticus didn't destroy a single ornament and the tree remained upright through the holidays.

we chose an extremely cold and windy day to get our tree. atticus didn't know what to make of the cold air whipping him around, so he was happy to stay bundled up close to mom.
