The Look!!

As you all know, we have been preparing our house for Christmas for quite sometime now! However,  last week we finally put up the BIG tree! 

I'm pretty sure it would've been sooner, except we realized the tree was back in IOWA!! Once we realized this, Dad made an immediate request for overnight shipping...just kidding...but seriously! :)

 This wasn't my first rodeo for this tree decoration thing! Kellen on the other hand...you'd think he thought it was Christmas already!!

Can you imagine what he'll be like on Christmas?!?

I on the other hand chilled with my Rooster as Mom and Dad were "prepping" the tree!

 "Mom, Dad does a better job of fluffing the tree.  Why don't you just, uh bake some cookies?! I'm getting a bit hungry chillin' here" 

"Or I guess you could just take more pictures"

Kellen was getting pretty antsy and wanted to help with the decorating part!! 

I won't lie, I was excited too! I even have my own ornaments!

 Yep, that's right! The ornament Kellen has his hand on...that's MINE!! My very own tennis ball ornament! It still gets me every year.  I think it's a real one...so fresh and so clean...so I try to grab it and then I realize...oh yeah it's a fake out!! I also have my paw print in foam and 3 others, I'm kinda a big deal I guess! :)

Once the tree was all decorated we all took our turns with "The Look".  

Kellen was and is still in pure Aww!!

 I will have to give the kid some credit, Mom and Dad were pretty risky and put ornaments on the bottom and some fragile ones too...and he hasn't touched them yet! Don't worry, I made sure my ornaments were at the right level- where he couldn't touch, but could still see! Yep, smack dab in the middle! :)  

Then my look...

Now this is what Christmas through the eyes of a DOG looks like! :)

To be loved and to be treated like one of them is the greatest gift of all!!

Now you are ALL welcome to come visit to see our decorations! I can guarantee you, if we are home, all Christmas lights and Christmas candles will be on! Dad has this rule, the minute we wake up, the lights come on! :)
