New addition!

We got a puppy! Yes, and such a sweet little addition she is. She's tiny but supposedly 8 weeks old, even though the vet thinks she's a lot younger. She loves to be bundled up in a blanket and cuddled, and makes tiny little whimper noises if you are not cuddling her enough. :-) She's a sweet little thing. Here are a few pictures.

Oh Christmas

She came and she went. It was our first Christmas together in our new house which made it extra special. Here are a few pictures of the decorations we put up together...

 Our tree... which curiously reminds me of my mother's tree. I guess the apple doesn't fall far...

All lit up.

This is what i called our 'crap tree' :-) It was going to be our main tree until we put it together and realized how Charlie Brown it looked. So this guy spent Christmas in our kitchen.

Annnnd this is what to do if you don't have a mantle... Screw and tack your garland and your stockings to your wall... :-/  Christmas isn't Christmas with out stockings. Shout out to G-ma Tillster for the 4 foot golden cones. I love those things. 

Hope you all have a fab Christmas season!
