(Instead of making one for the table.) And we&#8217;ve had a tradition of asking Peter&#8217;s cousin&#8217;s along and getting pizza. In the past we have gone out after dark to a farm with hot chocolate, lights, hay bales and mud puddles&#8230;.and always after Peter&#8217;s finals. This year Darrell and Eric piled in the car with us and we went out to a pizza lunch and then drove around town looking at Christmas tree stands. The ambiance was definitely lacking, but we sure had a fun time! We ended up at Target where all the trees were stacked and leaning in a miniature forest with puddles on the floor. The guys found us a perfect tree while Seth had fun climbing through all the Christmas trees&#8230;and stomping in the puddles!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9585ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9585ps-blog.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9588ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9588ps-blog.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9594ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9594ps-blog.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jerome helping on the hunt&#8230;he actually lifted that thing out!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9599ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9599ps-blog.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9600ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9600ps-blog.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yay!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9603ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9603ps-blog.JPG\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_9606ps-blog.JPG\" alt=\"dsc_9606ps-blog.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then Gigi met us at home to help decorate, but she ended up taking a picture of me and I didn&#8217;t get any of her!
