My Birthday Present--War Eagle!

Stephen and the kids gave me the coolest birthday present! One of our favorite traditions at Auburn is rolling the trees at Toomer's Corner after we win. We've had a lot of wins this season, but we've been at home a lot this season, too. So, we've been rolling our poor Cherry Tree out front after our wins. Probably not a good idea, because it is only a matter of time before a pouting Alabama fan decides to set fire to the tree and burn it and our front yard down. So, just in time for the Iron Bowl, my Toomer's Oak seedling arrived from Auburn. So cool! Of course, it's tiny right now, but it didn't stop us from rolling it after our win last weekend. Here are the pictures...
