Merry Christmas

 We had a quiet but very nice Christmas this year.  Junior slept in and the weather was changing so he wasn't very energetic but he still had a great time.  

On Christmas Eve eve I surprised him with some balloons which he was super excited about.  

Christmas eve my sis stayed over so we could get the last minute stuff ready.  I was trying to wrap gifts and Yonder discovered his new toy and had to try it out.  

 

Poor pup wasn't happy about it being wrapped.   

But was oh so happy on Christmas morning when he got to open it and play.  Yonder loves stuffed toys that have squeakers and this one has a squeaker in each colored square. 

Christmas morning started late since everyone slept in.  Then it was stocking time. 

Typically the stockings have a coloring book in the top of them but this year Junior wanted a cook book instead.  This boy is soooooo into baking.  Of course he can't have a stocking without Dr. Pepper inside.

Christmas Time

 Wow, well over a month since my last post.  Things have been busy with the typical craziness this time of year.  Junior has had some asthma bumps and is currently on a little oxygen support because of the weather change but is doing well.  He loves all things Christmas and couldn't wait for the tree, lights, decorations, and other holiday things.

Craft fun

Junior was working on a Grinch literature unit and had to take a poll of whether people liked the movie or book best.  So far the movie has quite a lead.

Not sure why the face in this pic but he was refusing to smile. These were his Grinch stocking and tree

He decided he had no favorite so likes both the same.

Out enjoying the nice weather before the rain arrived.

Some craft time outside.  Yonder spotted the paints and got so excited. He couldn't wait to paint.  He always acted like he enjoyed it but I wasn't sure he really like painting until he reacted like this.  He was doing his doggy smile and just prancing around so excited.

Junior then finished up the snowman painting.

Of course Christmas must include lots of movies. 

More craft fun.  He was using little Christmas trees to create one big giant one. 

With Covid preventing any typical outings we all get a bit of cabin fever so we load up and just go for a drive.  

Junior loves to sit surrounded by the Christmas stuff in the evening.
