Cutting the Christmas Tree!

Mommy & Brekk

Sorry it's been FOREVER since I posted last but life's been busy with getting ready for Christmas. Last Friday we went and cut our Christmas tree. It was pretty chilly so we chose quickly but it was still lots of fun. Mac had a blast even though it was quite a long walk up and down some big hills. Brekk just hung out with me and we kinda watched Mac and Andy do all the work! We all decorated the tree on Saturday morning which was fun since Mac is more into it this year than ever before. The tree WAS beautiful and Mac was so proud....but when we came home from church on Sunday the tree wasn't so pretty anymore! Izzy, our dog ATTACKED the tree. The bottom 3/4 of the tree was left empty...she chewed up all the ornaments and even the lights....CRAZY! Izzy is such a good dog so we were totally shocked. The only thing we can figure is that something scared her like a weird noise or someone knocking on the door and she thought it was the tree so she destroyed it! I was SO sad...I was crying my head off because they were all my ornaments from when I was little, ornaments made for us (Erin), and Mac's "first" ornaments. I'm pretty much over it now and the tree is looking nice again. Some friends that came to visit on Sunday night brought us a bunch of new ornaments whcih was super sweet so the tree isn't so bare anymore. That's been the exciting news around here I guess. Oh yeah, Brekk turned 6 months yesterday....he weighs 17 lbs 14 oz...he's a BIG boy! Mac was only 19 lbs at a year so although they look alike their builds are VERY different. He's healthy and doing great though so we are very happy about that. I will post again soon...I promise!
