Today, Katie and I had our second annual Christmas tree cutting. Last year, we went down to Los Gatos to cut one down. This year, we went up to Petaluma.

Also, another incidental tradition that’s started is getting rained on on the day we get the tree. Last year, it was lightly raining the entire time, and today, it started pouring right before we got home.

Regardless, we got the tree into our tree holder quickly and it is now sitting in the corner of our living room. Christmas is coming, and we’ve started our celebration!

I even got up onto the roof last weekend and put up our LED icicle lights!
