A Wonderful Christmas!

4:14 PM | Posted by Elyse and Riley |

Catching up here...we had a wonderful Christmas. The girls (Riley and Chloe) got lots of yummy treats and fun toys. Riley got a new Wubba, a stuffed animal, and some treats. Riley was good and didn't mess with any of the presents or ornaments (with the exception of knocking a few off with her tail)...bad Chloe decided to take a stroll under the tree and on top of all the presents. Don't know what we're going to do with that wild old girl!

We took the girls to go see Christmas lights on the 23rd. They enjoyed it immensely!

The nativity scene Riley decided she needed to bark at...I guess the plastic figurines were being just a little too still for her liking...I told her she can't bark at Jesus, is she crazy?!?!

Then, on Christmas Eve, Aunt Baddy and Uncle Jimmy (my sister and brother-in-law) came over for lunch, then for appetizers that night. We decorated cookies and put together a gingerbread house.

Riley patiently waiting for something to fall on the floor.

Christmas morning! Aunt Baddy and Uncle Jimmy came over to open presents that morning.

Riley got Zuke's treats!

Then, after we opened presents, we got dressed and went and saw the Sherlock Holmes movie that's out. Then we went to a Chinese buffet for lunch and had leftovers for dinner. The dogs were very happy to see us when we got home!

Riley LOVES her Grandpa!!

All in all, we had a wonderful Christmas and hope you all did too!
