All I Want For Christmas...

Ok, it's not all I want for Christmas...(lol), but it would be nice if BL would stop attacking the Christmas tree skirt this year! When we put up the tree, I carefully put the tree skirt under the tree and smoothed it all out, and have had to fix it quite a few times since then. I finally have given up. Maybe she's playing with the embroidered bird?

The pic above is from last year, when the tree skirt and BL evidently had some kind of truce. She would just sit on it, under the tree, like she was some kind of Very Special Christmas Gift.

Got the Tree up

Chloe and I put up the tree the weekend after Thanksgiving, but we didn't decorate it until this morning. We're getting better at putting together the tree, I think it only took us about 1/2 hour to get it up. Chloe sorts the branches, and I put them in the base. We totally booked this year!

We got the ornaments out of storage and Ray helped us put them up this morning. I really enjoy going through them and remembering when we got them and Christmases past. The finishing touch is always candy canes all over the tree.

Pretty!
