It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

But it sure doesn't feel like it - it's around 50 degrees out there now and will get up to 70! It looks like it's going to cool off in the next few days though.

We got our Christmas tree put up last night! And partially decorated. We haven't had a decorated tree in several years, maybe since the year we got the boys. Snoop and Roscoe are 5 this year so it's been that long. We put a few non-breakable ornaments on it last night to test and it appears the cats left it alone. Or at least they didn't tear it down and I didn't see any ornaments on the floor.

I'm excited to get our old ornaments out. It's been so long since we've seen them LOL. We used to buy a special ornament every year that was meaningful for that year. For example, the year we got engaged, we bought a small golden filigree box that represented the box my ring was in. And at some point I decided I wanted the theme of the tree to be birds so we have a lot of bird ornaments.
