Let's Decorate the Tree!

Ball

Out in Connecticut, I got to get my Martha Stewart on by decorating the tree!

First off, Doug and I drove down the street to the First Congregational Chruch to pick out a tree. I wanted to cut it down ourselves, at a tree farm but in the interest of saving time, we just gave the nice church lady $50 for one of the pre-cut trees. Next years, kids. Next year.

Doug is an expert at stringing lights. You really should call him if you ever find yourself in a spot involving lights.

Given that The Boys came from a shelter, they have prob never dealt with a Christmas tree before. Here is Maestro showing the tree who's the real sheriff of the living room.

Mozart pretty much just watched the whole time. He's a lover, not an ornament-fighter.

Speaking of ornaments, this is my favorite one of Doug's.

Still, Maestro Needed to Show the Ornaments Who's Boss. I think he's going to be a problem, given that those balls are glass.

Hope everyone's having a great holiday! I'm sure I'll see you at the parties!
