It's starting to feel like Christmas!

McGee and I have had a very festive weekend!  We picked out our tree yesterday!!  And today we decorated our crappy apartment, and decorated our cute little tree.  Our tree is about 2 and half feet tall, and we have it sitting on our dining room table (which is counter-height... so it's a tall one) to try to keep Guinness away from it.  He's a little too rambunctious for us to attempt a tree on the ground, or anywhere near the ground.  We've had some fun acquiring some cool Christmas ornaments for our tree, and it was really fun to decorate it!  We don't have a tree topper yet, so we took the Bumble ornament (from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) and put him on top of our tree.  It works, I think!  I actually think I'll look for a larger Bumble to use as an official tree topper, because I like him up there.

Here are our stockings!


Here's our tree (and yes, that's Animal from The Muppets.  We also have the Swedish Chef).

 Here's Bumble!

 Here's a cool ornament we got in Hawaii.  It's a gourd that's been stained with Kona coffee, and the fish is the Hawaiian fish (the humuhumunukunukuapuaa), which we saw all over the place while scuba diving.

Our awesome lobster ornament from our roadtrip to Maine!

Another ornament we got in Hawaii.  It's a sea turtle with a santa hat. 

 Here's Guinness totally behaving!  So far he doesn't seem interested in the tree at all. He is, however, very interested in the stockings hanging by the fireplace.

Speaking of our little (big) guy... He's turning 10 months old tomorrow!!  And we have a vet appointment for him tomorrow too because he needs a booster shot, so we'll finally find out his weight!  I'm taking bets if anyone wants to take a guess!!  My prediction is 63 pounds.  McGee is guessing 60 pounds.

I hope everyone's December is off to a good start so far!!
