Frank has definitely been enjoying the cooler weather this winter. It is hard to keep him inside sometimes.

Merry Christmas !!!

Mom, Dad and Lucy.

NO man should be without an Auto Wrench

(and by "Auto" I mean battery-operated).

Chris and Brandy get started on their gifts while mom gives Josh instructions.

Josh and Kerri are just getting started

Lucy was helpful as ever.

Josh is the proud new owner of a toy car that has a singing dead deer on the hood.

Now really.... what more could he ask for?

Chris, Brandy, Dad and Mike decided to soak up some sun this beautiful Christmas day.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Chris, Lucy, Dad, Maggie and I.

After a delicious Birthday Brunch it was time to relax and let the food settle.

Lucy took refuge in Mom's lap.

(Lucy does her best to ALWAYS find a lap for protection from Maggie).

It is Dad's turn to play with Maggie.

Dad protected Lucy while I restrained big, bad Maggie.

My 2 boys relaxing and watching football.

Frank tries really hard to sleep on the arm of the couch not realizing that he is just to big.

Now it is time for a nap.

My little Gangsta Pug.

Ok, not the greatest picture but this should give you an idea of what the house looks like at night with all of our beautiful Christmas decorations.

Mom, you will notice we still have your favorite Santa. ;-)

It has been very foggy these past few days...

I know there is a park behind those trees somewhere.
