Tree Hunt and more holiday delight

According to Brett, my "scroogness" towards the holiday season officially needs to end this year...I didn't go down without a fight though and tried to convince him that I should have one more year without decorations, seeing as Maelin wont remember ANYTHING but I lost :(  So today we ventured out, got a tree and also "decorated" the house for the season.  What I soon discovered though is we had lost most all our holiday decorations in the fires (shoot), so this year our decorations consist of some pine cones for a candle jar and two red towels for the kitchen....so that part was easy.  The tree however was more of a hassle but we managed and Brett is VERY HAPPY............

 Off we go on our tree hunt

 Found it....Maelin likes 

All set up....a bit small but that means less needles to pick up

SO the tree is up, but we'll see how long it stays there, especially with our super naughty untrained Puggle home alone all day.......to be continued.......

Speaking of holidays, we had a good Thanksgiving last week.  Below are some pictures from the long weekend.  Maelin didn't have much success eating the turkey, we need to work on the chewing a bit more, but she was happy to play with the serving spoon. We also had some black Friday fun and then homeward bound back to Chicago!

 Yum Yum
