O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Just a few random things:

Melissa enjoying the morning sunshine.


Melissa.


My pretty girl.


Melissa had the shivers. I think it's part anxiety and part cold weather. Today we outfitted her with an old wool sock. She is happy to wear her sock-sweater.


We brought home a Christmas tree today. It's a Douglas Fir. As My Honey untied it, Cierra was helping, she's the best helper dog.


The Douglas Fir. It smells so good.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!
Your boughs are green in summer's clime
And through the snows of wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
How steadfast are your branches!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me when oft
at joyous Christmas-time
Your form inspires my song and rhyme.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
What happiness befalls me

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson
That constant faith and hope sublime
Lend strength and comfort through all time.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your boughs can teach a lesson.

-O Christmas Tree, author unknown.

What pretty pups! I love any and all dog photos =)

We just put up our (fake) tree, as well, and I'm so nervous our puppy is going to try to eat it!
