Welcome to December!

It was strange to have Thanksgiving so late this year - but that means Christmas is just around the corner! Christmas is one of my favorite holidays (tied with Fourth of July - who can say no to picnics and fireworks?!?!)

We had a nice Thanksgiving in College Station with Big Dog's mom, dad, grandfather and his wife (long story, but we don't really refer to her as "grandmother").

The dogs were cute as usual, and enjoyed seeing their "cousins" Sassy, Sonic and Zoe. I can't believe I didn't really get any "pack-o-dogs" pictures! I guess the camera wasn't ever around at the right time!


I was excited to decorate for Christmas. Since Big Dog had to travel Central Texas this week, we're waiting to decorate our own house... but luckily I got to help out at his parents.

And finally, Big Dog and his dad putting up the garland/wreaths. It was cold and windy that day! Burrrrrrr... winter's cold is probably the one drawback to this "festive" time of year!
