Have A Holly, Jolly Christmas (Okay!)

STOP. Picture time!

I'm contemplating how to steal Jason's Christmas gift (Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones SAY WHAT?)

Later that day: Covered in dogs. Literally.

Out for pizza for my dad's birthday. Love the face, dad.

Jason making his...pizza...loving...face?

Can you count all of the dogs in this picture? (I count six.)

On the phone with my gramma. That's how my dad wears his hat when talking on the phone to my gramma. If you talked to my gramma, you would understand.

The frost on the trees at the Target parking lot.

Nina. In a box.

Nina still. In a box.

Stevie on her puter.

Christmas morning- present opening time!

Proof that I was there- mah boot-ehs.

So Stevie is telling Husband to not open the gift she's holding first, but meanwhile she lets him (accidentally!) open up the controller to the gift. Oops. SURRRRPRISE! Confusion? SURRRRPRISE!

That's okay, it's still a kick ass gift. Readers, we've finally joined the year 2007 AND WE GOT A Wii! Thanks mom and dad and Stevie and Jason!

Stevie got a really heavy book. "What, do you have a test to study for?"

Kitty!

So tired.

Pretty scarves from my mom!

Petunia with her baby doll squeaky squirrel.

I got Stevie a signed book from John Irving. I think...she liked it. Brag, brag, brag (thank you, Tattered Cover!)

So this is funny because my mom gave that exact same bird bath de-icer to my dad as a birthday gift two days earlier, and he had the great idea to re-wrap it and re-gift it back to her for Christmas. He said he did that 'cuz she wouldn't let him do some last minute Christmas shopping at the truck stop.

Snooze.

Husband wants to steal Nina. Can't blame him.

Jason showing off his gifts.

So this is pretty much the coolest thing ever- a jelly bean dispenser off of Etsy. Also my dad's birthday gift, as he's the original Jelly Belly Bean Guy.

Gus haz a SAD.

And Kitty looks like a teddy bear.

The temp outside Christmas day. Kids, it was FUCKING COLD.

Olive, AKA "Shnood", AKA the weirdest chihuahua ever.

Hello Husband, I luff you.

Oh yes, of course. I know.

Somebody has pretty blue eyes. This is also his, "Hey hold on, I'm gonna do something funny!" face.

Then I make him blow air to show how cold it is. (we are also quite aware he was in desperate need of lint rolling, but by that point we were five days in with 9 dogs and had pretty much given up.)

Kitty being the biggest dork ever- she shoved her face into a pile of snow.

A little snow on her head? No bother.

It's all good when you're rolling in mah parent's hood.

THE END!
