Sooo... I did not know for sure if they would be selling real trees on or off base... but I told Derick we were having a real tree one way or another... even if I had to go into the Japanese wilderness and find it myself... I am pretty sure that would be illegal though so good thing the boy scouts were selling them!
It was the day after thanksgiving and the quest for the perfect tree began...

It was actually really easy because they were all bundled up so we had no idea what they looked like... so we picked the tallest one in $55 categories... I picked the ONE!... Here we are with our brand new bundle of JOY! (I dont know if you can tell but I was really sleepy... I had not fully woken up from the food coma of thanksgiving!)

My mountain man making a fresh cut outside our house... and my mountain puppy getting her sniff on!

Well... not quite what I wanted... it seems so skinny... oh wait...

BAM! it was so amazing I gave it a hug... one of the best hugs of my life... maybe that is why I dont like hugs... I have been hugging the wrong things...

Sabastian refused to get in the Christmas spirit and decided to take a nap on the decorations instead... I guess that is about as Christmassy as he gets!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE decorating the Christmas tree... and I love how Derick just watches... no really I do... bless his heart but we leave tree to me! He gets to put the star on the top! He really likes that part!....
Derick: "I get to put the star on top remember"
Lisa: "oh yeah, but I think the top is too thick and needs to be carved down... here is my exacto... why dont you do that while I decorate"
Derick: "okay"
2 seconds later
Derick: "um Lisa, I dont really know what I am doing you should probably do it"
Lisa: "okay"
30 seconds later
Lisa: "AHHHHHHHH"
Derick: "WHAT?!? ARE YOU OKAY?"
Lisa: "AHHHHHHHH"
Derick: "uhhhh........ Lisa?"
Lisa: "I just sliced myself and blood is coming up in the middle of my thumbnail"
No worries... it was just a flesh wound, I walked it off... it just really hurt for such a tiny cut... maybe cause it was the middle of my nail... i guess that is why they say... ALWAYS CUT AWAY FROM BODY PARTS!... oops!

and after all this we look over and Kona has totally Christmafied herself!
Kona: "look mama you can decorate me too"

Derick trying to untangle her... what a silly puppy

Okay, I feel like this is a "goats eat tinfoil?" kind of question, but, did Kona really put those on herself? I mean, I found Alexis with a pair of panties around her neck and under one leg once. . . so I wouldn't put it past Kona. . . still, that dog has mad skill if she did that!
Oh, and by the by, I've got some nice cacti out here that I am sure would love a hug.
Hahahahah poor Kona
