This year the boys were on their toes when it came to putting up the Christmas tree. They had Daddy getting the tree out of storage in record time - way faster than Mommy could ever convince him to do it. Virgil especially has a talent for laying on the pressure without appearing to lay on the pressure. He just asks you about it every time he sees you until it gets done. I can tell you from experience, this can also really backfire on you. DO NOT TRY THIS TECHNIQUE AT HOME (unless you are 3-feet tall, disarmingly witty, and your name starts with a "V").
It's a Virgil-Christmas tree-sandwich!
Just a bit to the left Daddy, then I will hang Emmett on the top to act as the counter-balance, and it should be just about perfect.
Daddy!? Is that you in there?
