Decorating for Christmas

Once the Thanksgiving feasting was over, we were ready to move on to Christmas.  Friday morning the Thanksgiving decorations came down, the Christmas music was turned on, and the decorating commenced!

We waited a week to get our tree because we didn't want it to be completely dried up and dropping needles on Christmas.  So the next Saturday we headed off to Home Depot (great selection, great prices).  Even though John thought the Douglas firs were "too hairy", we ended up with one.  It fits in the corner of the family room perfectly and we both love it!

Nala didn't know what to make of it!  She did a lot of sniffing.  She also thought we were providing her with a new water bowl ... she understands now.
