Christmas time is here...

Some say I am a scrooge at Christmas time...Jennifer Dunn. I don't like christmas music on the radio before Thanksgiving or anytime for that matter, I hate GLITTER(it gets on everything) and I just don't like how everyone acts jolly when we know they aren't. Anyway, I thought if I had a better attitude this year then maybe I would start to really enjoy the Holiday Season. I started by decorating the door, with a wreath I made from ornaments, Lee made them with his mom when he was a boy.

Its not the prettiest wreath on the block but I love it cause Lee made those ornaments and they are adorable. Speaking of decorations on the block, check out this interesting christmas tree and outdoor decor our neighbor is sporting this year...

Not really sure what is going on here, but yes they have an all white tree with blue lights in the window and below it are some twigs wrapped in more blue lights and tinsel thrown about. hmmm, is all I've got. I really wish you could see this in person, because the pictures are just not capturing the awesomeness.

Anyway, back to getting in the holiday mood. Since we won't be here for Christmas, we didn't chop down a tree but I did put up my two foot, hot pink, tinsel tree in the front window and decorated it with my favorite ornaments. I couldn't put all my ornaments on it because it would have fallen off the table:)

Isn't she a Beaut?

So slowly I am really getting excited for Christmas this year and it was awesome that is snowed here last week. I hope we have more snow because it didn't stick in the city and I would love for Arthur to pee on some snow this winter. I know that is gross but he has never seen snow and I really think he'll love it! He already loves how cold it is outside and he is ready for Christmas.

Could this have been a better picture? Look at those eyes, they are naughty dog eyes.

Arthur

So Arthur is finally at the age where he wants to please us all the time. Well not all the time but most the time and especially if it involves three things: his ball, treats, and all of us together playing. Last week we decided to start teaching him new tricks, so far he can jump and stand on his hind legs, on command. If you have any new tricks you want us to teach him, please let us know, we are running out of ideas...

One of his favorite games is when we hide his ball in another room and then tell him to find it. So we were playing this last week in the basement and the game evolved into putting it in awkward places and telling him to get it. This video is that game...enjoy!

Thanksgiving is over

Just thought I would let you know how wonderfully Thanksgiving went. Since I am not in the mood to write I am just going to tell you with pictures.

After dinner one night while my sister-in-law, Katherine was here, she drew my and Lee's profiles and turned them into silhouettes. Here they are...Can you believe how beautiful they are and it only took her about an hour for each one??
