The tree

David and I were torn between getting a real tree and a fake tree this year.

Fake trees are much easier to deal with but are not easy to store in a 600 square foot studio. 

In the end, we went with a real tree. 

Come january, we can toss it and won't have huge box around for its once a year appearance. 

We were totally ripped off by a sketchy establishment in the back of a Target parking lot.

(we'll know better next year)

I was grumpy and unaware David was taking a picture. 

(The Kershaws cannot eat a breakfast bar and expect to call it a meal. Be happy you were not around us before lunch time.)

ALSO, driving on the highway with a tree strapped to your car by two pieces of string is a very anxious experience.
