Who needs toys...

...when there are so many household items to lick?

These pictures represent Simon at his most still and cooperative state.

Simon had fun with his buddy BL today. 

Second Annual Christmas Tree Hunt

This Saturday we went with our good friends William and Heather to hunt down a Christmas tree on his family's farm. It's the second year we've gone out there, so I guess that makes it a tradition. 

Everyone got in on the fun.

Mark and William were in charge of the chainsaw

So, sensibly, I took a turn with Simon. 

William and Heather found a full, tall tree.

Here's Heather holding our slightly more modest tree.

I think a comparison to Charlie Brown's Christmas would be fair.

But Simon doesn't seem to mind one bit.
