Christmas Preparation



Thanksgiving is over and it's time to move on to the next holiday, meaning that it is also time for a new wreath on the front door.  I was not able to reuse last year's Christmas wreath, because Gabby slept on it for months (it worked as a nice little nest for her) before throwing up on it.  That's my girl!  :)  This is my latest wreath creation--I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.  I was initially going to put a light green or silver bow on it, but found that the red goes better with the dark gray exterior of my house. 





Last night I put my tree together, with the help of Gabby and Ian of course.  You'll notice that Dexter is absent from these pictures, because he got a little too worked up and had to be temporarily banished to the bedroom.  Tonight I will complete stage two, by putting on the lights and ornaments. 



Dexter did get some cuddle time with Daddy when he was freed from the bedroom.





I absolutely love wrapping presents--here are a couple I've done so far.  The bottom one is actually a baby shower gift, so it doesn't look Christmassy (spelling?).  My Mom does not share my love for wrapping presents, so she lets me wrap her's too--which works out well for both of us.
