Yesterday I put away my pile of clothes and tonight I attempted to conquer one of the many other messes in my apartment at the moment- the pile of Christmas decorations that were needing to be put up.
I needed motivation to complete the task at hand. Watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer helped fill me with Christmas spirit. 
Dressing Maddie in Christmas clothes helped too.
Doesn’t she look so thrilled to be wearing her shirt?
I had originally purchased this ‘Puppy’s First Christmas’ shirt for Abbie a couple of years ago.
I uncovered it with the rest of my Christmas paraphernalia and knew it was Maddie’s turn to wear the shirt. I know Abbie would have been happy to share.
I am dying to find a puppy’s first christmas ornament. Let me know if you know where to find one!
Putting my tree up really took no time at all. It may not be as extravagant of a tree as my Mom’s, but its all mine and each ornament holds a special memory.
Do you sense a snowflake theme? I’m a teeny bit obsessed.
I tried to get Maddie to pose in front of the tree, but it was a lot cause. She went back and forth on wanting to eat the tree and being deathly afraid of it. lol
Rewind to earlier this after you will see I invented a killer snack at work.
Brown Rice Cake + Barney Butter + Dried Berries = Yummy!
Try it. You’ll like it!
Since I spent my evening decorating my tree, I really didn’t feel like putting the effort into an elaborate meal. Instead I dug in the freezer and found a Kashi Pizza that had been taking up a lot of space in there for far too long.
Fresh out of the box.
After I pimped it with veggies galore.
Much better!
It pains me that according to the box a ‘serving’ of a Kashi pizza is 1/3 of a pizza. That is simply not enough. I always take at least half. 
The extra veggies really makes the pizza. Granted I haven’t tried this particular flavor un-pimped, but I bet it would be pretty plain on its own.
The last of my Warm Red Cabbage Salad was an excellent accompaniment to my pizza.
For dessert I enjoyed 1/2 of one of Amanda’s Peanut Butter Cup Blondies and a touch of Chocolate Ice Cream.
Paired with a cup of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea.
In my favorite Snowflake mug.:)
I <3 Snowflakes!
I’m so happy to have another item crossed off my list! Now I just need to take those boxes to the dumpster. I SWEAR that is in the books for tomorrow.
Pinky promise!
