Tomorrow is my traditional day to put up the Christmas tree.\u00a0 However, we are going downtown Chicago to Piece Brewery and Pizza for my birthday.\u00a0 That meant I had to get the guys in gear to pull down the Christmas tree and all the boxes to decorate today.<\/p>\n

I have made it Rick’s job to put up the tree and get it decorated.\u00a0 Since my left arm is still in a brace, it was definitely his job.\u00a0 I helped pass the lights and gold strings behind the tree, but he did most of the work.\u00a0 Such a good son.\u00a0 I know Santa will be extra good to him this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So on to the Sascha connection.\u00a0 It didn’t strike me at first that this was Sascha first Christmas in a house with decorations.\u00a0 She was overly curious about the tree and the ornaments.\u00a0 Rick tried out one of the musical\u00a0ornaments I had made with my cousin almost 20 years ago.\u00a0 It played!\u00a0 Sascha cocked her head and listened very hard.\u00a0 She attempted to help Rick put the skirt under the tree.\u00a0 I finally had to rescue him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After it was all decorated, Rich and Sascha donned their Santa hats for a little informal photo session.\u00a0 Sascha actually left the hat on for a while!\u00a0 Such a good dog.\u00a0 Then I tried the reindeer antlers on her.\u00a0 I think the antlers are more fitting.\u00a0 She would make a cute reindeer for Santa.\u00a0 She could definitely pull that sleigh!<\/p>\n

I forgot to say thanks to Erica for helping me with one of my decorating projects.\u00a0 I painted the living room and had started my decorating ideas.\u00a0\u00a0 The theme is a fishing lodge, of sorts.\u00a0 I’m using fishing poles through the room along with pine cones and evergreen accents.\u00a0 Rich made me a screen that I had planned to decorate with a sign and lots of lures.\u00a0 With my broken wrist, I hadn’t gotten the finger dexterity back to tie the lures on.\u00a0 Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Erica agreed to help and tied on the lures.\u00a0 The design is hers and I think it turned out great.\u00a0 Thanks again for the great piece of art!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
