Christmas 2011

For Christmas, PaPa and NaNa came down to spend the weekend with us. We had a fabulous time. We watched movies, told stories, made cookies, opened presents, and more importantly, we made WONDERFUL memories.




We celebrated Christmas by waking up and opening gifts, eating a delicious homemade breakfast and then playing with our new toys santa brought.

For breakfast, PaPa and NaNa made homemade biscuits and sausage gravy. It was delicious!

Santa brought NaNa a 8x10 picture, he brought PaPa a new magnetic light for his garage, and Zulu a HUGE rawhide.




Brad got a 3-ton jack, a creeper for the garage and new jack stand.




Dani got an iPad. I think Santa spoiled all of us rotten, but especially me. I love my new toy and take it everywhere. In fact, I might even have to start blogging more. Now there is no excuse. :)

Zulu really warmed up to PaPa and NaNa this trip. Especially NaNa because she was here every morning when she woke up. She followed her around everywhere, tried to get in the shower with her and cuddled with her every time NaNa sat down.










Zulu sharing her bone with PaPa!

We had a fantastic holiday and feel very blessed to have shared it with family. How wonderful it was to have PaPa and NaNa want to spend the holiday with us. We enjoyed their company more than they will ever know.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas photos

One very windy Corpus Christi day, this little family ventured out to ATTEMPT to take photos for our Christmas cards.














A windy day, a disagreeable dog and 100+ photos later and we had our Christmas card photos.




Merry Christmas!

Love, The Breedloves

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

This was our first tree, during its first round of decoration. 

Insert a 10 month old chocolate lab who has never seen a Christmas tree and you too would have to redecorate your Christmas tree several times. 

By the end of our Christmas trees (yes, plural) life, all the ornaments were at the top foot and a half of the tree. Silly dog. 

Setting up

Putting the lights on

Tada! See that starfish to the left. Yep, that was Zulu's favorite attack ornament. 
I think she was attracted to the smell of it - it smells like the ocean. 

Are those presents I see?

Our Christmas tree and Elf. Perfect holiday!

We did end up with a dead tree about 7 days after the first purchase. We were devastated by the loss of our first tree but the second tree we bought was just as perfect. Despite the needles, you can't beat the Christmas tree smell.
