Christmas Cookies, 2018

We managed to squeeze in another round of family Christmas cookies....it's so hard finding a day and time that works for everyone, but we managed to find a slot that worked for ALMOST everyone and made the best of it.

When a doctor is married to a pre school teacher......

You might find him sipping red wine, and cutting out cute little nativity scenes using a scalpel.  He was a good sport!

 

Reoccurring theme??.....

Anyone see anything reoccurring  a lot.....Gus and Jack love their quiet time together.  Peyton hogs him at night (he sleeps mostly in her bed), so Jack has to be quick and grab him if he wants him in his bed.  He mastered it on this night!  Gus will sleep wherever you place him, he is not picky!

Basketball Season is underway.....

Moving on from soccer to basketball for a while.  I'm ready for a warm, inside sport.  And I DO love to watch basketball!!!

A 70 degree day in DECEMBER!!

YES, PLEASE!!!!  We will gladly accept!!  We didn't have much going on either until the evening, so we headed down to a trail by the Meremac River.  The kids rode scooters for a while and then threw rocks for a while too.  The dogs had just as much fun!  Gus did pull all the kids around on their scooters for a while too (he might be a fatty, but he enjoys a good work out and can hang for a pretty long time!)....he about threw Peyton to the ground.  It was pretty funny!  She made a good recovery.

 

Jack loves to cuddle

Jack still loves to cuddle his Mom (which I will take!!!), every night he asks if I'll come snuggle him. He also enjoys a good snuggle from a dog.  He's not picky which one, just whichever one will come sit quiet with him and snuggle with him.  This night, it was Gus!.....most of the time it's Gus!

Bathroom Remodel

So we started a total gut, master bath remodel on Halloween.  The contractors wife is at our house a lot talking with him, seeing the progress to order new stuff, etc.....she fell in love with our dogs!!!  She absolutely loves them and is sending me pictures to work all the time of them, if she was at our house.
The one day she sent me this one....she thought it was hilarious that they were both in our bed and Gus was on the boy side (Mike's) and Annie was on the girl side (mine).  They live a hard life!!!
