Christmas Puppy!

I forgot to post a few photos of our new labradoodle puppy, Joy. I'm sure most probably saw these on Facebook, but I'll post here also.
This was the day we picked Joy up 5 days before Thanksgiving. She has already over doubled her weight since then. She is expected to be about 25 pounds fully grown.

This photo cracks me up with her tongue sticking out.

First day home with Joy.

There were many outtakes before we got this photo with everyone looking ahead.

Christmas puppy!

For some reason this photo always flips sideways when I try to post. These are the stockings I made with my mom and my friend, Judie. I was really happy with how they turned out and I have a new appreciation for anyone who sews. Hours and hours of work went into these. I don't think I will be tackling any sewing projects for a long, long time!

Official Christmas Photo Outtakes!

This was our very last photo taken after two nights of trying to get a nice Christmas photo for our Christmas cards. Mike and I are behind the camera but we had the same look on our faces as Elsie has on hers. This experience was a unique kind of torture ;)

The expression on all their faces is hilarious. You would think they were about to die from their suffering.

This is what Elsie kept trying to do when we wanted her to sit in one place. Weston and Grace weren't helping us out!

Elsie's expression is saying, "Why are you doing this to me? How could you be so cruel?"

Elsie likes to talk to her food when she eats so we told Weston and Grace to pretend they were Elsie talking to her pizza.

Meltdown!

Little Monkey!

This is the end of the first night's photo shoot. Can you believe we actually tried it again!?!
