It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

This was our first tree, during its first round of decoration. 

Insert a 10 month old chocolate lab who has never seen a Christmas tree and you too would have to redecorate your Christmas tree several times. 

By the end of our Christmas trees (yes, plural) life, all the ornaments were at the top foot and a half of the tree. Silly dog. 

Setting up

Putting the lights on

Tada! See that starfish to the left. Yep, that was Zulu's favorite attack ornament. 

I think she was attracted to the smell of it - it smells like the ocean. 

Are those presents I see?

Our Christmas tree and Elf. Perfect holiday!

We did end up with a dead tree about 7 days after the first purchase. We were devastated by the loss of our first tree but the second tree we bought was just as perfect. Despite the needles, you can't beat the Christmas tree smell.
