Chloe had her first litter of pups

Chloe had her puppies January 26th. I was not home for the whelping so Jason had to take care of Chloe during the whelping process. She had a total of 13 in her litter but 3 didn't make it. Believe me, 10 was more than enough. She was a great mother to her pups. It is amazing how natural it all was for her. By the time the pups reached 5 weeks she had about enough of them and that is when it all started for me. The cleaning, feeding, and training. It was a great experience for the whole family. Watching them grow was a lot of fun. The boys loved all of the pups.

Our Trip to Florida

Can't you see her smiling?

During our visit we went to see Rick and Greg. Here are the boys lounging on thier hammock.

The boys admiring one of the many Christmas Trees that Rick and Greg display in thier house. This particular tree had ornaments from The Wizard of Oz. Needless to say ths sparked thier interest and now love the movie.

After Christmas Jason had some time off from work so we took a long road trip to Georgia to see Dad and Martha and then down to Florida to see the rest of our family and friends. We had a wonderful time visiting with everyone.

Christmas Morning

Caleb and Nathan were very good boys. Santa delivered exactly what was on their list. They were very happy and excited. Santa left footprints of snow in our house and all the cookies, milk and carrots were gone...the boys were amazed. We all had a wonderful Christmas.

The night before Christmas...

The kids have such a great time together!

We had a gift exchange and the kids are ripping through the paper to see their presents

The first year Jason and I were married we decided that we wanted to have an annual Christmas Eve Dinner for friends and family. Every year our company for dinner is different. This year we spent Christmas Eve with Nito, Millie, Ricky and Shayla and Millie's mother, Isa.

Cookies and Crafts

Last year my friend had a Cookies & Crafts party where the kids would decorate ornaments and cookies. Well...the kids and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to have one this year.

The kids decorated glass ball ornaments, decorated cookies and built and decorated a gingerbread house.

It was a mess...but very much worth it...because the kids had a great time.
