The last week has been a blur with lots of highlights sticking out.
Me: Where did all these gifts marked “to Boo, from Santa” come from?!

Boo and I made a trip to the thrift store last week and she came upon the “FREE” bin. All of my gifts from her suspiciously look like what she scavenged from that pile. I love that she’s resourceful at Christmas.
We made a quick trip to Mississippi to see Brett’s mother, sister and family:
We drove to Canton, MS one night to see the lights and parade:
Boo altered her Christmas list to include a puppy after spending a few days with 4 dogs…including this polar bear of a Pyrenees named Alex.
She didn’t get the memo that Santa is not bringing puppies this year
Me: We already have a dog.
Boo: I know, but I want a nice dog.
Diesel got a spiffy new haircut for his pre-Christmas gift:

My mother has an elaborate Christmas nativity play planned with the grandkids. She spent all last week planning out the costumes at the inn with us:
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Hello!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
