I meant of course Dom AND the turkey.
The day after Thanksgiving we put up our tree. It has been a tradition that Dom's family join us and this year was no different except that Uncle Chuck had to fly back to Colorado and couldn't join us. We missed him!
Anyway, we are lucky enough to have a tree farm only about five mins away and though there was no snow on the ground it was very cold and windy. This year we chose a scotch pine instead of a spruce tree just to change things up a little. The tree we chose was very full and very fat. Decorating the tree only came only after the traditional swearing at the tree as we tried to get it to stand upright in the brand new tree stand that looked really cool on the package but actually sucks. It still appears to have a little list to the right...
After the traditional swearing at the tree, comes the swearing at the lights which of course never work...(we didn't actually swear at the tree with the children present.) Next came the decorations. One thing that I learned about Scotch pines is that they are very prickly, like cactus prickly. Like no one really wanted to decorate the tree prickly after being pricked 5 or 6 times, especially the kids. So this is probably the first and last year of the Scotch pine in this house...But despite all the trouble we really did have a fun time putting up the tree. Honest.
My husband told me I had to include this picture of my mother-in-law with her mouth open cause it was funny.
I had nothing to do with it.
Honest.
Except take the picture and post the picture.

Tree looks great even tho it was prickly.Dom thought his mom looked funny with her mouth open!What about his mouth with the turkey?
Looks like you all had a great time.
Dom and his mom seem to have the same open mouth expression. Is it like the Sizemore tongue???
