Gunnar and his Christmas Shoes

We thought it would be a good idea to buy Gunnar some dog boots so that he would not slip and fall on the ice when we go walking this winter. Last year, an experience like that ended up costing us $3000. I know, some will say we are crazy. I don't care. At lease enjoy this video.

Christmas Day

They're here!!!!

Mom and Mike came to spend Christmas with us this year! What a blast! Kim and I picked them up at the airport. Mom and I ran into each others arms and danced right there at passenger pick up. From there we went to the Galleria for a little last minute shopping then home to see the kids.

We had an awesome Christmas eve. We prepared a great dinner and then went caroling to some of our dear friends. Afterwards, we opened our PJ's watched "Joy to the World" and put the kids to bed.

You would think that by now we could sleep in on Christmas morning since we have teenagers. Ah... no. They were up bright and early. But that is OK. It was a great Christmas morning.

We then met up with our best friends the Bennett's to see the movie "Marley and Me". SO GOOD!!! We could not get home fast enough to love Gunnar and Rusty (Rusty is the Bennett's dog).

It's been a Wonderful Christmas!

Gunnar and Ranger playing in the snow

Ranger, a black lab, that lives across the street came to our front door looking for his big buddy Gunnar. So, we let Gunnar out to play with Ranger in the snow. They went full tilt for about half an hour. They would race from the front of our yard down to the back and into the forest. It was hillarious. Then they played tug -o-war with a stick.

One night last we our neighbor called. She said, "Suzanne, this is Cherise. When Ranger and Gunnar are done playing in your backyard, will you send Ranger home?" This was a surprise to me because I did not know that my pup was even out side add to that, that he was outside causing mayhem and mischief with Ranger.
