So this is Christmas. . .

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Whenever we're not in Aus for Christmas, we always spend Christmas eve at my Aunt and Uncle's house (dinner in our PJs. . .family tradition!) and the night/xmas morning at my parents. Lately, since there are no grandchildren in the family yet, Christmas is all about the puppies. . . .Moose, Maui, Lola and Rico are the most spoiled pups on the planet, as grandma and grandpa just love filling their stockings with goodies. Maui woke up xmas morning, ran to the mantel where the stockings were hanging and stood up on her back legs and just sniffed the air. Yup! it smells like christmas, little girl! We had a great morning opening pup and people stockings and presents. We then went on to my other Uncle's house for a fabulous dinner. . .boy am I stuffed!!! 

So. . .here is a tiny little peek into our Christmas

Yes, the pups all have full sized stockings. . .spoiled!!

OK. Can I just say how hard it is to get 4 crazy puppies in one picture!! My desperate attempt at even getting one pup in focus!

And again. . .

A couple noteworthy stocking stuffers. . .

Moose is deathly afraid of the vet (who happens to be my Uncle). So Mom thought it would be very fitting to get this Vet "the victim" toy. . . try to read the description, it's hysterical. The back of him says "bite me" :-)

VIOLET CRUMBLES! Phil's most favorite candy. . . .it is the only truly Aussie "lolly" that can be found in american stores. . .honeycomb covered in chocolate. . .yummmmm.

"It's the way it shatters that matters"

My Uncle's gorgeous house sitting along a rushing river. Notice the black bear in the corner!!! :-)

Just a couple house details

This place looks like a lodge in Colorado. This is a shot from a light fixture in the great room.

Hope everyone had a great day!!!
