Christmas Eve

This year I picked out beautiful Christmas cookies for Santa from Annie and me. Then I also thought the reindeer may need a snack, so I left a plate of biscuits for them (I hope reindeer like dog biscuits. They didnt have any reindeer biscuits at the store.) Then I reminded Annie that these plates are not for her. 

Then I left the room. When I came back, I caught Annie in the act! I knew I selected the right Christmas attire for Annie!  Have a fab Christmas Eve!

Happy Hanukkah!

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. So Annie and I are ready to light the first candle on the menorah and eat our cookies. The holiday starts at sundown tonight. We will do more posts about Hanukkah since there are eight nights of celebration. We are so lucky our family celebrates both Jewish and Christian holidays. So tomorrow we will also say Merry Christmas!  Happy Hanukkah!

Annie's Party

 I threw Annie the most fab Annie Day party. Paw Patrol and hot dogs!

 She especially loved the hot dogs!

 She even got presents with the theme - a hot dog toy and new hot dog collar !

Then we had cake. Mommy brought Annie's puppy cake. Our hotel sent a giant Annie photo cake! How fab! (Yes, that's Bear on it! It represents 4 years ago!) I will tell you all about our trip in a later blog post. Right now, I am just too exhausted from so much partying!

Annie Day #4

Four years ago today, Mommy and Daddy went to pick up Annie at the Orange County Shelter (Mommy saw her on Facebook!) Her name was Bermuda (how weird!) but we named her Annie.

 She was so happy to be in her forever home. Bear welcomed her with a big smile of course! I liked her too!

 Four years later, she is a very happy and content little girl. And she has the best smile ever!

To celebrate her Gotcha Day, we took her on vacation. I can't wait for her party!. We are so lucky to have Annie. Happy 4th Annie Day!

Packing essentials

We are leaving on a road trip today. I prepared my stuff to pack and then asked Annie to bring me hers. When I saw her pile of toys and bucket of treats I told her she can't bring everything. I said she can bring one toy and a small bag of treats. She wanted to know if I also had to take less. I told her no and explained that I only prepared my necessities.

Snowmen

The other day before we went to the snow, Annie told me she had a dream about snowmen. After we pranced in the snow a bit, out came the snow suits. Annie now thinks she’s a psychic.

Christmas Trees

 The other day we went shopping for our Christmas tree. Annie and I are always in charge of sniffing out the perfect one.

Once we found our tree, I supervised getting it on the car to take home. 

And last night, Daddy did the lights and Mommy hung the ornaments. 

While our family tree is beautiful, I love my tree best. Isn't it fab?

Elf on the Shelf

It finally arrived! Our very own Elf on the Shelf! I told Annie that this is Santa’s elf that will listen to our Christmas wishes and tell Santa every night whether we were naughty or nice.

I explained that first have we have to name her. I suggested Princess. I asked Annie what name she liked and she barked Sponge Bob, So we agreed to compromise and her name is Princess Bobbie. 

Before Princess Bobbie went to work, I thought I would give her something pretty  to wear with some poodlelicious influence. A reindeer skirt and saddle shoes! How fab!

When we awoke the next morning, Annie and I sniffed around the house to find where Princess Bobbie was.  I found her by the fireplace riding the reindeer!  

When Annie came over I reminded her that Princess Bobbie will be watching so she better be a good girl! 

Annie is not so sure she is excited about the arrival of Princess Bobbie in our house!
