Deck the Halls

Today was a super fantastic day! As soon as we finished breakfast, we headed out to do some holiday shopping and we are nearly finished. Just one more small gift and the finishing touches for another. I LOVE shopping this time of year.

Rusty got into the spirit with a peppermint brownie and a mocha from Starbucks.


After shopping, we decorated our house. Here is Rusty putting up our tree.


A star for the top.


What would this blog be without a self-portrait by the tree?


Our decorated living room, including our newly purchased couch pillows, garland and berries.


We finished the night off with a mug of sugar-free hot cocoa, which tastes just a great as regular (thank you Costco for selling it in bulk).


On a side note, Rusty tried on a sparkly hat (for New Year's Eve I presume) at Target this afternoon. He has been walking around with glitter on his face ever since and does not seem to mind one bit.

Rusty looks so happy in the first picture. Also, nice hat, bud. I hope he buys the sparkly hat. And then I want to see pics of that!

Send some holiday cheer my way...I'm not feeling it yet! Perhaps I need some snow to get me in the Christmas spirit.
