This is our Purgy puppy. She is one years old and we adopted her when she was 6 weeks old.
Purgy is a black lab mixed with gray hound or whippet...we think.
But i defiantly know that she is mixed with lots of love to give!
Purgy is named after a mountain in Colorado called Purgatory.
We only picked that name since it is one of our favorite places to be, the mountain not the religious term.
This is Purgy Puppys first Christmas and she is very excited! The morning that she found her stocking filled, she wanted everything from that stocking right away!
But we told her she has to wait till Christmas morning ( 4am )
Our Christmas Plan will be as followed...
Andrew works Christmas eve 8 am till 8 pm then early to bed
wake up at 4 AM Christmas morning
roll over and wish my best friend a happy 27th birthday
open the stockings from our second fireplace that is at the foot of our cozy bed
Then off to Cape Cod Mass just in time for brunch!
After 2.5 years together, this is our first real tree together.
There is a tree farm down the street from our new house.
We tagged the tree in early October
The tree farm was owned by a cute older couple that referred to us as "the couple who moved into that house for sale"

The day before my birthday we bundled up and walked down to get our tree.
The old couple remembered us and said " Emma! Happy birthday! " How cute is that?
We chopped down the tree, had it netted and off we went... on foot
That's right... we walked our tree home
our neighbor stopped and asked us if we were taking our tree for a walk. My silly lover responds with " yup we thought it needed to shed some pounds" sigh...
My "bffl" Caitlin was waiting in our house to open the door for us thank goodness.
And here we are! Our first tree!
The colored balls were Andrew's not my fav but they make a good filler
and my mother sent me a box of childhood ornaments
Some of my favorite ones on the tree. The green one is an outline of Fishers Island this is the island where I was "made" and where I spent my summers with family. The second one is a pink mailbox with 1987 knitted into it, the year I was born. The little Santa was actually my fathers growing up and my grandma gave him to my mom after they married. And the little house that says "new home 2010" that needs no explanation <3
So that's what Christmas time is like at our place
Do you have any past down ornaments on your tree?

AW! She's adorable! I love love love the tree!
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting that y'all finally have a real tree! I can't wait until we have one. I still have some arm twisting to do ;) Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteps. I just read your thing about the goals. That is great! Once I actually get one filled out I will send it to you so you can cross that off your list!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have your childhood ornaments! My boyfriend and I don't have any of those (they are at our parents') but we started a new tradition of picking out one ornament each year that represents the major event of the year ... I moved from NYC to Cali this year to be with him so this year it's a yellow taxi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Your pup is adorable.
