We decided to put up a Christmas tree for the first time this year. After debating back and forth wether or not to put one up, we decided to go ahead and do it as long as it's not a real one since both Fox and Nala still have their claws and I don't need anymore cat puke than we already have. Joshua is really into Christmas this year and LOVES to look at all the trees on display at various retail establishments and all of the lights around our neighborhood. He keeps asking us when Santa is coming to his house and this year there were no tears when we visited Santa.
We started a new tradition this year and had a tree trimming party. Stephanie and Jaime came over to help us trim our very first tree. Everybody had their special ornament to hang: Stephanie had a fancy shoe w/ a feather on it; Jaime a cosmo martini; Kevin a basketball net, ball and shoes; Joshua a puppy and I had a penguin and eskimo. As you can imagine, Joshua loved to hang ornaments and he wanted to hang ALL of them. We had to do a little rearranging so all the ornaments were not on the bottom. All in all, it was a huge success and a lot of fun!
