Christmas Decorating!

Welcome to December! Cody's birthday is right around the corner. He says, "Let the countdown begin!" Next Wednesday he and his little brother will be delighted with a specially made doggie cake. He will also be delighted with a brand new Christmas toy. He will get either a penguin or a gingerbread man or both since his little bro won't care about the toy that much. Plus Cody gets a little hoggish when it comes to new bday toys!

I finally decorated for Christmas. It's only the first day of December so it's not exactly late into the season yet, I say "finally", because I planned on decorating Tuesday night but I chose to do other stuff and the decorating got pushed back to today. I put up window cling decorations every year. I had a terrible time this year with getting them to stay on the windows. One of the best windows in our place for decorations has the boys living room bed directly under it. Good thing Cody wasn't laying near there when the window decorations began to fall. If you know Cody you know he's rather skittish. Doesn't take much to scare the little guy. The decorations started to fall down around Simon, it was kind of funny how quick he was to jump up to sniff each decoration. Cody stood in the background watching all this and barking. He's helpful! Lol!

Here's the most interesting part of my decorating this year. I came across a box that I'm sure I've seen before but I suppose I've never taken the time to open it. Can't believe I haven't opened it before. It was clear the box was straight from the manufacturer and never been opened. Inside the box was a ceramic snowman holding a tree with cardinals around him. He's sensational! What a great find! I do remember buying that snowman years ago. It had to have been at least 3 or 4 years ago that I bought it because I remember I still lived in Phx and this Christmas will be my 3rd Christmas in Dallas so at the very minimum it's a snowman that's been waiting to see the light of day for at least 3-4 years. Like I said before, great find!
