Merry Christmas Everyone

I just wanted to make sure I got to say Merry Christmas to everyone. I was a little bummed about Christmas this year. With all that is going on right now we have been short on cash. I hate not being able to get folks things at Christmas. I am glad we pre-planned for the parents. We had family pictures taken this summer so that is the Christmas for all the parents this year. I know John and I said we weren't going to buy anything for each other but I couldn't help myself. I didn't go crazy or anything. He has been wanting this for quite some time. I am excited to get to see Reavis open his gifts this year. It should be fun because I bought 2 of the same thing. One for John and one for Rev. I know neither one of them are expecting it at all. I still need to buy some new Nyla bones for the boys. I will wrap them and they will have a blast tearing the paper off. It should be fun because Chester hasn't ever had Christmas with us before. I am not sure what he will do.

I think we are going up to my Grandma's so I will be excited to get to see them. We are also going to go by John's Mom's house and I have seen her in a while either. I think it will be good to get to visit with the family.

A little of everything.

Well here are the boys in front of our tree. I can't believe they all sat there so well. I just love those little guys. We of course had to have a photo with Santa done this year since we have offically become Chester's family. I can't say that I love my family or my dogs enough they make me smile every day.
Today was an awesome day. We had our visit at St John's pediatrics. We got paid with so many smiles. That is just an awesome feeling. When we were visiting this little boy named Kyle he smiled so big. His parents were so excited, they said that was the first time he smiled since his accident. They even took a picture of him with Chester. John with us since he is a PTO member and I could tell he was really proud of Chester and the work he does. We couldn't stop talking about all those smiles from the kids.
I made the boys some peanut butter and molasses treats. They loved them. I am going to make some more for the boys and our friends for Christmas. I love to bake and at least this way I can make things but not take on calories. I also need to make something for the girls at the vet clinic. I am not sure what that will be but it needs to happen by next week. I was thinking of making a loaf of apple butter bread.
I got a new cell phone last week. It is about time. I needed to upgrade the treo 650 it has been out dated for quite a while now. I have the palm centro. It is small but I love it and I don't need anything much fancier. I am just happy to have all my contacts and calander in one place. It has saved my ass more than once.
