Christmas 2010

We had a wonderful holiday and are quite sad to see it end. The puppy surprise worked out perfectly! Mom picked up the dog in Buffalo 2 weeks ago (she came from Chitawee French Bulldogs in Missouri) and then took her to Canada a few days before Christmas. The next door neighbors took care of her from the time we arrived until Christmas Eve when we hid her in the basement. I was so frickin' excited I couldn't sleep...here is her reaction on Christmas morning:

Elisabeth named her Allie, after one of her favorite characters on a tv show. Not until after the name was decided did we realize that we now have Blake (our Brussels Griffon) and Allie (the new puppy)....as well as UNCLE Blake and AUNT Ali (my brother and sister-in-law). We took a picture of the 4 of them together:)
