Merry Christmas!

Yesterday was my first Christmas. Actually, Daddy said it was probably my second, but Mommy said that she didn't want to think about me having Christmas with another family, because she wanted it to be my first and best Christmas. Mommy's a little weird, but I love her, so I'll just say it was my first Christmas! And it was fun!

On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Tori's house for dinner. I love going to their house because there are plenty of things for me to steal. Grandma had decorated for Christmas so there were even more things to steal! I especially liked the pine cones that she left out. Mommy always tells me that pine cones belong outside, so I can't bring them in the house...but for some reason, Grandma had a bunch of them inside. Yummy. I was very good around their Christmas tree, but I accidentally broke one ornament with my tail. I didn't mean to, I was just wagging my tail and the ornament got in the way!

The next morning, Christmas Day, we woke up and went on a walk, like normal. Then, Mommy and Daddy let me into the living room, where I'm never allowed, so that was exciting in itself. The Christmas tree was in there and I was very good, I didn't knock anything off, and I didn't steal any of the ornaments. But I did lick a few of them -- I wanted to see what they tasted like. Then Mommy and Daddy gave me presents and let me unwrap them all by my self. I got a new football and a chicken flavored nylabone!

Then we went into the family room, where the stockings were hung by the fireplace. There were lots of good treats in my stocking, like peanut treats and cookies. Mommy says that the three doggies on my stocking look like Aunt Tori, Cousin Sami and Me. Here's a picture of me doing my impression of the doggie on the bottom of the stocking.

After breakfast, we got into the car and drove. I had no idea where we were going, because we went in the direction of Aunt Tori's but then went past her house! We kept driving. When we got out of the car, my other grandparents were there! I had never been to their house before, and they were very excited to see me. Grandma had lots of treats for me, and she kept feeding me pieces of ham. I was so good while we were there that Grandma and Grandpa asked me to stay!

Grandma fed me so much ham, that Mommy and Daddy were worried that I would get car sick again. So much that they stopped the car every five minutes to check on me. They needed to calm down. I was fine. Which proves I need to eat more people food before car rides so I don't get sick!

Merry Christmas!
