SNOOPIN' FOR GIFTS

We love this time of year. Preparing for the holidays, visiting friends, wrapping gifts, making sure no one starts snooping for their gifts. (Ha!) This weekend we had a tough time keeping our dog, Stoli, out of the bag that contained his “gifts.” He stood guard as I moved the bag, wrapped them and placed them under the tree. He went so far as to paw them a few times but was scolded. It was like watching a child in anticipation on Christmas Eve. We have included a few pictures of our baby with his Christmas antlers. SMILES.

If we allow ourselves and are willing, we can learn quite a bit from the little ones in our life. During Christmas, the spirit of this season is most easily found when we look through the eyes of a little child or in our case, our dog. The elation and enthusiasm has not been tainted by years of routine and broken dreams. When we forget what the true meaning of Christmas is all about, all we have to do is stop and watch their reactions when they receive a gift they cherish. It is the best feeling in the world.

This weekend we ventured down to our new house and they are really making progress. Here are a few more pictures. Enjoy!
