Christmas Joys
A blessed and holy Christmas season to all of you!
Last weekend, we enjoyed a fantastic day at my folk’s home. The kids leant their creative arranging skills to Nanny and Papa’s Christmas tree and the resulting decor brought smiles to all our faces. Enjoy!
The Doodlebug and two tiny treasured Santa ornaments – one for each hand. She was captivated by their diminutive size.
Sparkly entertains us, though some are able to remain focused on their symmetrical assessment of the lights being strung on the Christmas tree.
Nanny and Papa arranging the tree skirt…with help.
It’s a team effort when it comes to making sure the lights are hung just-so!
Papa and his little duckling.
The little duckling with her obvious preference for grouping like objects! LOL!
Peanut!
I can still smell that fresh evergreen tree! What a wonderful day with family!

Two new puppies were in the kid’s stockings this year so I thought I’d introduce them!
These two pups are sisters from a litter which is a happy mix of German Shepherd and Yellow Lab (though I don’t see much yellow lab, do you? LOL!). Rob picked them up on Christmas Eve and brought them in to a delighted and surprised group of kids.
Rob and I had been tossing names for the puppies around for a bit. “Ginger” and “Nutmeg” were my favorite picks, but Rob was concerned that “Nutmeg” sounded too much like “Nut-Man” which we sometimes call “Peanut” (our 6 year old). So…the puppies were to be named HOLLY and IVY unless we could come up with something else. However, Rob had a change of heart at the last minute; he was pretty convinced that the pups should be named GINGER and NUTMEG. And so they were…

Merry Christmas!!You had so much snow!!! We just had a few flurries here!
(And my camera was BROKEN. Aaah! Can you believe it???)
What a wonderful Christmas you had! Your puppies are so precious! We have dogs that are brothers from the same litter – it is so much fun! Merry Christmas!
What a great Christmas and fabulous photos. I of course, love your family photo but really like your close up of Mary and Baby Jesus (it cam out so clear for a close up shot.) Elle has the exact same Fisher Price school house (mine as a child) that I cleaned uo for her (yours looks in much better shape) but is a favorite. Take care, Kerri
