It’s Tree Time!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s tree time! Everyone in our house was excited to finally put the tree up, especially the cats. Well, mostly Penny.
Sam dressed her up in a Christmas outfit and Penny jumped right into the tree. Does she think she’s an ornament?
Usually, the star is the last thing to go on the tree after we decorate it, but Sam made us a custom star (out of aluminum foil) and insisted we put it up first thing. I have no idea why she made it, but ok. Why not?
It seemed to take longer than usual to decorate this year mostly because instead of hanging ornaments, Sam was messing around, mostly with poor Zach and Penny.
Sam loves all of our Shutterfly ornaments and the one with her Poppy went right near the front of the tree.
Sam’s homemade candy canes get put on every year. We have some she made out of red and white pipe cleaners and this year she made some out of red and white paper straws. I am always shocked that Zach doesn’t climb the tree to get the pipe cleaners – he loves them!
Penny was being even less helpful than Sam, which Sam thought was hysterical, of course. At the rate we were going, it was going to be New Years before the tree got done.
Our fireplace hasn’t been converted to gas yet, and since the TV is there, we don’t want to burn a wood fire, so we improvised! Sam of course, had to be a goofball. All night. Which is why it took 10 hours to decorate the tree….
Mark and Zach had enough of the decorating and just chilled by our fake fire. 🙂
It didn’t take long for Zach to get back to his favorite napping spot though, under the tree.
The tree did get done eventually so Santa can come!
