Getting our tree the day after Thanksgiving

Waiting behind a tree while the big saw cut ours down.

Helping Mr. Buckner haul it out.

Aubrey camera face with Grandpa

The face again. Joel's smiling, though.

This is Aubrey's favorite coat right now. When I first pulled it out of the closet for her to wear, she absolutely refused to put it on, backing away as if it was going to jump out and bite her. Maybe it was too furry or something. Trying to think of a way to get her to wear it, I said,"Aubrey, look it's a tiger coat!"
That changed everything. Aubrey is really into animals right now, and tigers are one of her favorites (she does a great tiger growl), so the mention of tigers, made her slip right into that coat. Never mind that it's leopard print. They're both in the cat family, right? Now the only coat she wants to wear is the "tiger" coat.
