Catch Up

I love my dogs, especially when they are sleeping  in cute positions.  

 With December comes the rush to get the Christmas cards made and sent out.  For me that is a million photos of kid and pets hoping one will work.  There are a lot that do not but are still good in their own right.  This is Roxie's first year for photos and honestly, she did the best of everyone.

  

I initally wanted individual photos of everyone in front of the tree with a hat or scarf on.  Roxie did great but Jake would not get near the tree!  

So I settled for the two dogs in the stairwell.  Jake looked miserable in most of the photos even though he usually does fine with a scarf on.  

Grimm was not a willing participant either but he did the best he could.  

Back at the office, Jack got his Christmas costume change.  

Hollie and I went to Walmart for new Christmas lights for the tree at work and had fun with the giant heads and hats.  

Christmas Aunt's Meeting was at Lynda's apartment and we had a really nice time together.

I lost my copy of Steel Magnolias and had to record it on TV,  When I was watching it Jake was very interest in Weezer's dog.  He always goes behind the TV looking for TV dogs.  

Sunday we headed to E.Waterford to visit Meme and Pap.  Pap had a new toy to try out with Baylor and they had a good time on it.  This one is more powerful than then other four wheeler Pap has so Pap stayed on it so Baylor would not zip off into a ditch or crash into a building.  

And then Baylor took me for a few laps around the house.  It was so fun for both of us.  

We had a nice lunch with Meme and Pap and hung around visiting for a bit.  

Meme's cousin Treva showed up for a visit as well.  Gloria had not seen her in a long time and I had never met her so it was a nice surprise.  

Meme loves pictures with everyone, especially her grandsons.   This one is almost as tall as her now!   

Baylor had a school project to redress Santa and Baylor asking for camo felt and I found it at Hobby Lobby.  Love their store, not their politics. Rather like my country right now. 

We were having steak and pork tenderloin for dinner and while it was dark and cold outside, I cooked them on the grill.  They make such a mess grilling them inside.  And I have not mastered cooking with the broiler, which is just an upside down grill.  Maybe someday I will figure that out, but I still like my grilled dinner!
