We traditionally pick out our Christmas tree the first Saturday in December. This year was no exception except that we didn't get it decorated until a few days later. Of course when the boys came over, they had to examine the ornaments closely and carefully.

They did well and not one ornament broke. Oh wait, maybe there was one that mysteriously lost a part of it! And then there was the one I dropped and broke. OK, that's not too bad!

Sadie seems to enjoy the tree, too! She received this little Christmasy outfit from friends in Texas who came to visit back in November.

As you can see, Sadie is sitting by herself, but fortunately, she cannot get at the tree on her own this year! But look out, next year!
