The Tree is Gone ...

and so are the kids. Just so you will believe it, here is documentation of the tree being carried out on the back porch by Dad and John for the annual "throwing of the tree". And here it is being thrown over the edge. However, as we are using Dad's camera that always seems to have a variable delay, it appears the tree was able to escape before the picture was actually taken.
Claire is back in Hanau, Isabelle in Brooklyn, and John in Boone. Mom, Dad, Gus, and Lucy are doing okay. Nice day yesterday. Supposed to start getting cold now and stay cold for about a week and a half. Yes, even in South Carolina. Thanks, everyone, for a great Christmas. Have a super 2009!

Haha.... poor tree. I love that picture though.

Tissa (my brazilian bff) and I agreed that 2009 is our year, btw. Woohoo!!!

maybe i didn't make the first post, but perhaps the last one of this one. but that's easily outdone, isn't it?

Is it the real country mouse? Only the Shadow knows.

isabug said...

yep, that was David. I showed him my accidental post and then forced him to make a real post? yay!

Peddie said...

I hope David's goal isn't to really be the last one to post here... it will take a while.

Unless it means he will post a lot so that he definitely will have the last laugh! I hope so!!!

Claire, how did the art exhibition last Saturday go?

Peddie said...

Heh... it didn't. My friend Alex and I were the only ones who showed up (ie, even the Cafe' where we have it was still closed). We called the manager and drove around town and came back, drank coffee, and decided not to do it at all ;)

I will let y'all know about next time though, since it will be Valentine's Day (of which apparently I'm the only person who knows this date in Germany... what?!?!?) so we're going to try and kitsch it up.
