An overly honest moment:
I can't believe how much preparation went into this Christmas! I was really hoping to make it a unique Christmas (for me) in that it was solely about the birth of our Savior - Jesus Christ. I think it was in November that I went to a workshop specifically for that purpose. Billy and I were all set to make it about Jesus. Then, the Christmas wish lists came out - including mine:( (I'm not proud to say that I'm saving up to buy a new Mac desktop to help with editing my photos, and I loved raking in the gift cards). I couldn't resist the chaotic abyss that was my life in the two weeks before Christmas.
Long story short: Next year, I plan to eliminate the hectic, stressful mess and go right for keeping my focus on our Lord and the miracle that is His son, Jesus:)
That said, we did benefit from Christmas, as always, through wonderful time spent with family:)
Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera for the Ketron portion of the day, but I couldn't resist taking pictures of the pups and their Christmas that evening!
Top to bottom: Max (Billy's dog that lives with his parents), Niki (Billy's parents' dog), and our baby, G...and Billy helping them open their gifts!
Watching his every move - oh so intently;)
Each pup got their turn at the real bone...
...until there was a pretty nasty fight, and then they could watch it while it froze on the back porch:(
Billy's birthday is January 4th, so his Mom got really creative with the wrapping paper on this present - 1/2 for Christmas and 1/2 for his b-day! His Dad claimed that she ran out of paper, but we all know that she's just super talented!
Max was pooped!
But Niki was still playful!
and adorable:)
By the end of the night, it was a lot to ask them to move much less, lift their heads;)
