The Aftermath

We had the most amazing Christmas this year. We celebrated with my side of the family on Christmas Eve, we had Christmas Day all to ourselves, and we still have more Christmas to celebrate with my in-laws. It helps the kids to not feel let down after Christmas when we have another celebration to look forward to.

My mom gave me tons of sweatshirts and pants, so I spent yesterday all warm and cozy. She and my dad also gave us a gift card, so I can think of what I want to get myself for Christmas. I am thinking about replacing the dining room chairs with the money.

Morgan, my soon-to-be 14-year-old, asked for nothing but books for Christmas, so he came home with a huge bag of Star Wars novels. Haley is getting cheetah print bedding, hand sewn by Grandma. Annie got the cutest little idog:


You hook it up to an ipod or any music player, and it plays the music through its speakers. It also has a personality and barks and whatnot.


And unlike many other electronic toys, it is not annoying,

and it doesn't wake up in the middle of the night barking. Now if only I could say the same of our real dogs.

I took both dogs on a walk yesterday, and I actually had to phone my husband to come help me because they were going crazy. I almost had to just let go of the leashes so they wouldn't pull me down. I cannot wait until we are out of puppyhood. Then I guess we get to go through doggie adolescence. I look forward to doggie old age! I want a dog that sleeps all the time and goes with me on long, slow walks, rather than one where I am being dragged down the street screaming.
