Holiday Tidings

Hey friends! My sister and I are here today to share how we spent last weekend getting into the holiday spirit. You know, because it’s not officially the Christmas season until you go full on Christmas!

Holiday Tidings

Number one on the to-do list, GET THE CHRISTMAS TREE!

Holiday Tidings

Since I’m an old pro about hunting down that special tree I got to lead the expedition for our happy Christmas tree. I was a bit worried at first that all the good ones were taken, but then I found the perfect one!

Baby P agreed, so we said Dad, CHOP IT DOWN!

But first we had to take a xmas tree self! (everyone does it)

Timber!

I could hardly get home fast enough once the tree was down to help decorate it with my family!

Before the decorating could begin though mom got us all in front of the camera for a family portrait. A special one at that because we all got to wear our Ugly Christmas Sweaters from our friends at BooHoo.com. (that’s right, they have sweaters for the whole family, even the dog!)

Although to be fair, I don’t think they are that ugly at all! Dad got to wear one that said “Chillin with my Snowmies”, Mom’s said “Santa! OMG Santa’s Coming, I know him, I know him” (can you guess that movie), Baby P was a little too small to fit into most of the sizes on their site but she didn’t want to be left out so she wore a 5 year old size that said “Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal”. And as you can see I wore a fun holiday sweater too!

The tree may have been trimmed, but Baby P and I weren’t ready to stop being Christmasy.

With maybe a few outtakes here and there! Yay for Christmas!

My holiday spirit is in full swing, and last weekend it was time for me to venture out in search of my very special Christmas tree.

Dad was leading the way, and when Dad leads the way I know we’re going to be on the hunt for hours until he finds the absolute PERFECT Christmas tree.

With a little help from Dad and his sawing skills, we chopped down the tree I picked out and headed home.

Then it was time for the fun part. Parking myself on the couch to watch mom and dad decorate my tree.

Paws crossed Santa brings me more Sojos treats from Chewy.com! You can fetch some for your dog from my friends at Chewy.

Chasing Squirrels

The other day while out on a walk through the park I spotted something that made me a little crazy.

I claim it was a squirrel, mom thinks it was a leaf, and we pretty much agree to disagree.

We may never really know what was up that tree for sure, but it sure was fun trying to catch it!

It’s the day after Christmas, and lucky for me I have the day off of work!

Christmas Tree Shopping

Posted on by

Every year around this time I go on a very special hunt. A hunt to find a Christmas Tree! Just like I have done for the past several years (2010, 2011) – my family and I headed out to the Tricolor Christmas Tree Farm. You know, the place where the trees are born.

It’s very important to get your tree early – as to have the pick of the very best trees – so that when Santa arrives on Christmas Eve he’ll be like:

“OMG this is the greatest tree ever, you deserve all the presents in my sack Ammo!”

So when we arrived at the tree farm I wasted no time in choosing the very best tree on the lot! I just screamed holiday cheer!

I hurried along with dad to get my very precious tree to the car, because the most exciting part was next…….decorating it!

I’m pretty sure Santa will be very impressed.

Only 22 days until Christmas! I’m not sure I can wait that long! Ammo the Dachshund

Is Santa Here Yet?

Today is Christmas Eve. As in the day before Santa comes. I’ve been in my Christmas PJ’s since about 9am this morning, because I can hardly wait for Santa to stuff his big tushie down my chimney.

My stockings are all hung, the plate of cookies and milk are ready, and I even left some carrots for Santa’s reindeer. (P.S. Rudolph, I left an extra one for you)

I might have tasted a few of Santa’s cookies. I’m really hoping he won’t mind.

Just in case I printed out this photo of me giving the sad puppy eyes for Santa – and I’m pretty certain no one can resist sad puppy eyes, not even the jolly fat man.

Well, I better go jump in bed and pretend I’m sleeping, because I think I hear the sound of reindeer hooves on my roof! Ahhhhh I’m so excited!

Merry Christmas to all my pals!

 

Cutting down the Tree

Posted on by

Over the weekend I got to pick out my Christmas tree with my family. We decided to go back to the Tri-color Christmas Tree Farm just like last year so that we could cut down our own tree. (you know, the do-it-yourself method).

It’s very important to pick a special tree, after all you want it to look enticing for Santa to leave a whole bunch of presents under on Christmas Eve.

I narrowed my search down to a few promising trees, but ultimately decided on this glorious fella….

Santa would be proud! But, if you are wondering where the picture is of me sawing down my tree pick this year, sadly I must disappoint. See, after I chose my tree I got a bit sidetracked….

…really I was just checking to see if the groundhogs needed any help cutting down their Christmas tree.

I did eventually emerge from my underground adventure to help dad carry the tree to the car.

And I happily shared the back seat with my pretty little Christmas tree all the way home.

Here’s a happy little video of Holiday Tree Hunting Adventure:

I can’t wait to get all of my ornaments on it and decorate it super pretty for Santa! Make sure you check back tomorrow so I can tell you all about my visit to see Santa!
