Decking the Loft

Tis the season to "deck the halls" or loft as we like to say here in our home. Friday night, like we do every year, we loaded Hunny up and headed to get our Christmas tree. It was a little chilly out, but not too bad, so that was nice. Our first year here in Atlanta we bought our tree from a random temporary tree salesman, but since then we have learned that Lowe's has some pretty reasonably priced and great looking trees. Yes, we take Hunny to Lowe's.
Above you can see Hunny and Josh on their mission to find the perfect tree. The dog loves smelling all the trees and gets tons of attention from the other customers there on a similar Holiday mission.
We finally found the perfect one. Just off the truck and ready to be loaded up on top of the car to be taken home for Hesley Christmas 2011.
There she is, just hanging out, waiting for her arms to settle a bit before she is decorated. She looks lonely and bare, but don't worry, she has a date with decorations the next day.
Complete with lights, decorations, her friend Rudolph by her side, and even a couple of presents to guard until Christmas day. She looks 'purdy' if I must say so myself and the smell of Christmas permeates the loft perfectly.
Even Hunny got into the Christmas spirit and donned her Christmas collar for the day. She particularly likes to nip at the various ornaments around the bottom. I think she is trying to find her favorite Golden Retriever ornaments that look just like her. She found one.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone from our family to yours!
