Well there you have it...

I have successfully completed one month of myKirigami calendar.

Thank you Kerri for providing me with hours of entertainment. :-)

These two are my favorites thus far. :-)

So... how do you like my new ride? :-)

It's a pugs life... pugs life... (need I say more?). :-)

Frank has been enjoying his new ball.

Mike and Frank.

I forget to make an appointment for Frank at the groomers.

I know this looks weird but, trust me, it's easier.

Can't you tell he is having a GREAT time. LOL!

Yes, that was sarcasm.

At least he won't stink when we go to my parent's tonight. :-)

~~ MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! ~~

It didn't take Frank long to figure out where the food was and make himself at home.

Frank was hoping for some dessert but settled for a hug.

Mike, showing off his PF Changs and Kohls gift certificates.

Kerri is pleased with her new tent.

Chris gets a new wireless keyboard and mouse.

Brandy gets a bottle of wine.

Little Black dress, I believe.

Mom and Dad get some chocolate covered pretzels

and a gift certificate to Applebees.

"His and Hers" drills!

Poor Lucy was not very impressed with Frank.

And a Kohls gift certificate for me!

I have NEVER seen Frank as tired as he was last night.

A new ring for me too.

New lotion.

For Kerri too.

A man can never have to many Maglite flashlights.

Season 5 of Family Guy.

A new Power Washer....

No man should be without.

I think he likes it.

A pomeranian picture frame.

Frank slept ALL day today.

~ Pre-Christmas at Chris and Brandy's house ~

A few of us sampled a chinese soda.

and, it was actually pretty good (lemon - lime flavor).

Poor Chris STILL doesn't have his present from me....

I know, that LOOKS like a present but it was really just a note promising that his present is on the way. My bad for not ordering sooner. Sorry Chris. :-(

Chris, Brandy and Mom enjoying a pre-dinner drink.

Dad and Mom.



Josh and Kerri

Maggie, trying to decide if she wants to finish her goodie or not.

Maggie, Ginny and Missy.

Brandy is opening her gift from Kerri.

Results: New Jammies!!!

Josh, opening his gift from Chris.

Results: A gift certificate to Dicks.

Kerri, opening her gift from Mike.

Results: (and I can't believe she guessed it before opening) = A Machette. Mike felt that the other knife he got her (per her request) was just to darn small. I think she likes it.

Mike's gift from Brandy = A subscription to consumer reports.

and some Cowgirl Ride-em Rub and a Beer-Butt Chicken Cooker.

My turn to open my gift from Josh.

Results: An adorable Doggie picture frame.

and, a beautiful mortar and pestle. I had the opportunity to use the mortar and pestle already and it works beautifully. Thank you SO very much Josh. :-)

Ok, to try and make up for the fact that his present hasn't arrived I burned a couple of CD's for Chris' listening pleasure.

We haven't seen Ginny and Gary since June so it was a real treat to see them again.

And thank you for the DELICIOUS bread Ginny!

Brandy had a special surprise ready for Chris tonight as well... a calendar.

We all enjoyed looking at the many, many pictures within. :-)

Maggie was VERY, VERY interested in the stocking that held dad's new cigars.

Everyone had a GREAT time. Brandy and Chris served some of the best lasagna I have ever had and we all appreciate them opening up their home to us. Thank you for everything. You RULE! :-)
