Another successful Christmas has come and gone. As always we were blessed with some great gifts. Grandpa Dowdle gave the girls Grandma Dowdle's keyboard she used before she passed away. He just made us promise that we would take good care of it and get the girls in piano lessons. I'm working on that!! Our Christmas piles were a little smaller this time because of our new furry little addition. We told the girls that if we got a REAL dog that would be most of their Christmas. They didn't seem to mind at all.
Dan picked Max up on Christmas Eve night while I put the girls to bed and made sure they were asleep. When he brought Max home, we had so much fun playing with him. He was a little nervous at first but we quickly became buddies. I was surprised that he sleep most of the night. I was prepared to stay up all night with a new puppy. He was a trooper though, not even a little noise came out of him.
We woke the girls up and they were nervous because they didn't hear a dog barking. Way to cooperate Max and stay quiet!! Good dog!
On the way out to see if there is a puppy...
"Way to go Santa!! He brought us a dog!" That's what we heard from Brinley when she opened her eyes. Baylee was speechless and got BIG tears in her eyes. She just froze in her place. I think she was in shock. Rylee was excited too but went quickly to her new Princess piano.
It was instant friendship with this little guy!!
After we finally got them away from Max, we opened the rest of their presents. It was sheer delight!! Baylee got her LIV dolls, Brinley got an iPod, and Rylee got a Princess piano. They also got some DVDs and stocking stuffers.
Then they opened their presents from each other. Rylee had chocolate for breakfast. Half of her candy out of her sock was gone before we knew it. O-well, it's Christmas, you can have chocolate all day if you want.
It was a fabulous Christmas. This little guy made a few little girls very happy!! We're excited to have him be part of our family!!
