Holiday Weekend...

Our tree is finally up! 


We have already found a (20 lb) cat sitting on the top...


I am guessing due to this creature being on it!


We decided to not put glass balls on the tree this year since the cats are completely fascinated with the ornaments.


 I am thinking since Santa has been molested a few times already, this was a good call.



Our tree has always been more of an outdoor them.  The pine cone garland and red berries are my favorite part of the tree...


and I love this little guy that Jay painted this year!

We had a great weekend with the boys. We enjoyed a lot of holiday movies (apparently Die Hard is considered a Christmas movie...if you send Tony and Max out for festive movies), warm fires...


and apple cinnamon cookies.



Do you have a favorite Christmas (holiday) movie that you have to watch every year? Mine is White Christmas and I watched it yesterday while folding laundry. It definitely made the task more enjoyable!

  2. Those cookies look delicious!! Die Hard is a Christmas movie at our house too! :)

    Scout has been batting ornaments and sleeping under the tree, but has not been so bold as to get IN the tree. :)

    Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the holiday season! We miss you!

  18. I am a sucker for a Christmas Story. It is usually a TV marathon on TNT on Christmas Eve and after everyone leaves my house and we have cleaned up, Keith and I will cuddle up on the couch, turn off all the lights except the tree and watch it...laughing through out. It is always a fun way to end Christmas Eve just the two of us and get ready for the family maddness of Christmas Day!

  21. Gorgeous tree!

    I hear you with the cat crazies when it comes to the tree!

    I found my cat napping in the tree! I still don't get what's so interesting about it! But, wise choice not to put any glass ornaments on!
