Christmas Card

My parents came to visit this weekend for some Christmas shopping and hanging out. We had a great time, and they even taught us to play a domino game called 42. I am terrible, but it was fun to learn a new game. My aunt and uncle (Tonya and Rick) were also in town, so we got to have lunch with them on Saturday. It was a really great weekend! Since we had captive photographers, Bryan and Adi and I got decked out in our Christmas outfits for a possible Christmas Card picture.

They say that in the movie or television business you do not want to work with children or animals. Now I understand why. There were many, many outtakes.

She does this move a lot...usually when she wants us to scratch her neck. I promise I'm not pulling hard on her leash...she really is performing her famous neck scratch move.

Even treats proved to be of minimal assistance. Dad, had the magic touch. He proved to be able to hold treats over to the side and appear very interesting while Mom snapped the camera. I told him that since he's retired he could get a part-time job as a pet photographer.

This is our grinch and dog out in the front yard. Due to time constraints and our 4-legged baby, we did not due decorations inside this year. I guess that does make us a little bit "grinch-like".

And, here is a great photo of Mom and I.

1st Birthday

Today is Adi's first birthday. It was a very big day! It snowed this morning which caused some confusion during her morning potty time outside. Then, I took her for doggie daycare and a spa day while we were at work. She got to play with some new dog friends and then get a bath and her nails clipped! Stephanie (her favorite baby-sitter) even gave her a special bone and a bandana while she was there.
Here she is with her bone and in the next one you can see her bandana.

Here is a birthday picture with Dad and one with Mom.
