Christmas Tree Drama

So, I spent some time decorating our apartment for Christmas. I put up a tree and decorated it. I put several ornaments on it and I thought it looked beautiful!




It had been decorated for over a week. I was a little concerned when I first put it up because I wasn't sure what Snicker's would do to it. He left it alone for the most part. I would have to tell him no a few times. I only found 1 or two ornaments on the floor in the first week.

The second week, Heather and Joe were here and so we were gone a lot and I think Snickers must have been upset that he wasn't getting any attention. I came home from school, walked in the door to find the tree was on the floor! Ornaments were all over the floor. That little turd!!

I put it back together, and for 2 more days in a row I found it on the floor everytime I got home! On one of the last days, I found a few ornaments broken and the tree looked more like a charlie brown tree so I decided to take all of the ornaments off and just keep the lights on. So that's what our Christmas tree is like now, just bare with some lights. Snickers sure does keep things interesting around here.

SNOW!

It rained all day and kept getting colder and colder all day last Wednesday. On my way home from school, it went from rain to sleet! By dark, it had turned into flakes, and the flakes just got bigger and bigger! I couldn't believe that snow was falling here in Houston!

Heather and Joe were in town visiting and at first they seemed disappointed, and it's understandable considering they came down here to get away from the cold and the snow! While we were eating dinner at Don Pico's, we were looking out the window and watching the big, heavy flakes fall from the dark sky. Everyone else at dinner were excited and eager to get outside and play in it. It was fun to watch their faces filled with joy!
