A Real Tree

After putting away my artificial tree last year.. I knew that I did not want to get it out again after 12 years it was looking pretty sad! So I convinced my husband that I wanted a Real Tree!!! So when I went to work on Saturday .... and I came home from work I had my Tree .. I wanted!!! The only hesitation was the next morning I saw a news story about people having found snakes in their trees so I was nervous for a few days, but no creatures ever came out!!! YaY! It was beautiful and I am so happy I dont have to put away my tree this year.. just throw it out!!!!

Christian our Elf

We started a new tradition this year and had so much fun with our Elf .. .Christian ! For any that haven't heard of The Elf on the Shelf Book, it is such a cute idea for kids. The elf comes to your house and he watches over the kids and goes to Santa every night and reports on how the kids are behaving!! During his time here.. he made snow angels, opened presents, went fishing , and enjoyed lots of our Christmas Decorations! Haylee absolutly loved Him and is going to miss him as he is away for a whole year .. she has woke up at 4 am or early to find him all month long!!!

Jack the Puppy

So we have talked for awhile about getting another Jack Russell dog, since we already have Russell! Of course my Hubby thought that right in the middle of me being Sick would be a perfect time to get one... So let me introduce Jack the Puppy!!! I was hesitant at first but it is unbelievable to me how Theraputic a puppy can be.. they really can be a humans best friend. Now for some of you that are not animal lovers you may not understand, but this little guy cuddles with me and loves me all the time! He lays with me all the time and when I walk in the house to see how happy he can be it melts me everytime!! Now don't get me wrong we have had a few puppy moments, but overall he has been pretty darn good and him and Russell are really starting to get a long and become buddies which is what I wanted!!! I just hope in a few months that I am saying the same thing since I know it seems to good to be true!! Love you Jack!
