getting ready for Christmas!!

This is what we were doing the week after Halloween:

 Putting up our Christmas stuff!!! 
(ha! Notice my Halloween stuff is still up....)
Happy day! Happy day! I absolutely love my Christmas decorations! We put up our stuff early every year, but this year we did it extra early. Only because we decided to get a new prelit tree.....due to the fact that Ellie ate our last tree's leg, which we duct taped back together, but it still never stood straight afterwards.

 Ryan has this thing (a crazy obsessive thing =0), when we get something new, he HAS to take it out and play with it. It doesn't matter what time of day it is or what it is, he has to set it up. When we got our new chandler above our table, we didn't get home till around 11:30pm, but that didn't matter, it was going up! Even if we both had to work the next morning!! We were up till 1am.....I told you, he's crazy! But that is one of the million little things I love about him. So the fact that it was only a week after Halloween didn't mean anything....it was going up that very night!


Christmas came early!
Just what I wanted....a crazy Scottie dog! Her eyes glow with mischief!

 She loves hiding under things, she has many hideouts through out the house. Under our bed is her favorite, she thinks it's her own personal Bat cave! Many bones have been buried there, along with socks, washcloths, tissues, or even our undies. The Hamper is her favorite place to steal our stuff, little stinker.


Dec. 23, 2012....we are so ready for CHRISTMAS!!
So much that our presents are overflowing!

Our big bad guard dog! She's always on the look out.
If you dare walk up to our porch, she'll bark your ear off!

 I won't lie, decorating for Christmas takes a lot of work! All the normal decor has to put away and replaced with something festive. It can take ALL day, and even in the past, it has even taken DAYS! So by the time I am all done, I just like to sit in my living room and look at all my hard work! I just sit and stare at all the pretty lights, from my beautiful tree to my beloved Christmas villages. I am obsessed with villages, as you probably already know! =0)
