A tree in the house!

 The tree is up and decorated, the  lights are up in the bedrooms, and the animated polar bear is up on our front porch.  We got all of this done during the beautiful fall weather we've had the past week - 50, even 60, degrees and sunny (tell that to Steve who just experienced a record snowfall in Seattle) - but did we get any of our outdoor decorating done?  Noooooo.  Well, the bear, but he doesn't really count, since all you have to do is lean out the front door to set him up and plug him in with a timer.  So now that it's 40, even 30, degrees and rain/snowing all we have left is to put the outdoor decorations up.  Good thinking on our part.  Here's the tree, in any case.  We sure are enjoying it.  And there is something incredibly funny about a little boy and a very big tree...

The problem with that particular present is that it doesn't come with batteries.

And, of course, there was some assembly required.

Actually I would guess that the assembly was somewhat enjoyable.
