It's official: Christmas is upon us! Proof: my house is a disaster zone and our tree has been lit! It's gorgeous, and it makes me smile!
Sammy apparently is not in the Christmas spirit, as he attacks Santa

Carter helps me "fluff" the tree branches ...

... and she helps Daddy put the stand together

"Here's another, Mommy!"

Technically, neither of you should be under the tree!

Ho, ho, ho! It's Christmas Baby!

"Mommy, I shouldn't be wearing this!"
Carter helps put the finishing touches on the tree ... and ...
Perfection!
No, that's not your eyes deceiving you - our tree has nothing on the bottom foot. Wanna guess why???

I can guess why you don't have lights and ornaments on the bottom of the tree...'cuz I have a cat (two, actually) as well!
I love the scold-y look she has on her face when she's wrapped in the garland. And the picture where her hair is all back-lit and flipped up -- so cute!!!
