Home for the holidays

Happy Holidays! Now that Thanksgiving is over, I guess we can say that. Some people I know can't seem to come to grips with the fact that Christmas is really just three weeks away. I am actually looking forward to it. I already have my midget Christmas tree up and my "Frosty Flakes Welcome" sign on the door. It even snowed a little this last weekend which means it is now winter......at least weather-wise.

I just spent a great time at home with my parents and other family members. We had some yummy meals and I got to enjoy my 4 1/2 year old nephew for a few days. He was really proud of this Lego sculpture -- which he said was an airport. Future pilot or future engineer? Time will tell.

We also enjoyed the antics of my parent's two dogs: Fozzie and Petey. Fozzie is about 11 years old and Petey is not quite a year old which makes him a pretty typical puppy. The two have started wrestling pretty frequently and Petey has adopted the "I'll just sit on your face" defense tactic. I wish I could share the video but the file is a little bit big. But trust me, it's hilarious.

So, I can't wait for Christmas to see what other WWF Smackdown tactics Petey has come up with...and what other fantastic plastic structures Michael has built. Kids...and pets...grow up too fast!
