The Holidays, Continued!

Just a few more things I thought I'd share from Christmas :) I got a new camera but no memory card yet, so I didn't take many pictures at home in MD. Dobby enjoyed spending time with Gracie of course, and we had a great time relaxing with family.

Now we are back in NC! I was excited to come home to so many Christmas cards- thanks everyone :) Here is our card tree:


Now we're just looking forward to New Year celebrations!

Short break!

My world has gone a little- no, a LOT!- crazy lately. It's the end of the semester and I just don't have any free time or energy. I probably won't be posting much in the next week or two, but promise things will pick back up before the holidays :)

See you again soon!

We love fall!

(Dobby helped pick these pumpkins and gourds out!)

I have always been a huge fan of fall- and Dobby is, too! We love the cool mornings, perfect for snuggling. We love the warm- but not hot!- afternoons, great for lounging out on the deck in the sunshine. And recently, we've discovered the joy of chilly evenings in front of a fire :)

Last year my fireplace was in questionable condition... but we had it serviced, and now can enjoy it all winter long. Dobby loves the fire- it's gas, so it doesn't put out too much heat, but it puts out enough that he notices. He is fairly uninterested most of the time when it's burning, but once in a while, he will walk up to the fireplace and just bask in the glow. I think the light from the flames makes him nervous, but after I turn the fire off- when the heat is lingering on the tiles- he likes to just go stand by it; warming his little butt.

We all know chihuahuas love warm stuff!! :)

100 Posts

This marks our 100th Post!! Thank you all for being such great friends. I've really enjoyed getting to know you through your blogs. What a great time to share what I'm thankful for this Holiday Season:

Family and Friends! Without them I would be no one going no where. Dobby, my little lover boy. My heart skips a beat when I come home to him every day. Jeremy, my full-sized lover boy. I smile just thinking of him. And all of the things that make me thankful for living the life I do- food on the table, heat in my home, a car and a job.

The Christmas tree is up, cards have started arriving, and the holidays are near! Thanks again everyone, for the good company all this time. Happy Holidays!
