It’s done. Over. Gone.
Christmas has passed and I did not lose mind.

Alright that’s not all true, I did lose my mind in the airport last week, but that’s a story for another day.

Anyway, I made it through this Christmas all in one piece.
It was touch and ago Friday and Saturday but as soon as 3:00 pm came Saturday afternoon and it was time to head to my parents house it was GAME OVER.
Time had run out and whatever wasn’t done was going to remain undone.

As soon as we stepped into my parents house the feeling of relief just took over my body and it was time to relax and enjoy the holiday with a Christmas Ale that has had my name on it since November.

For the first time in 4 years we were able to get a nice family picture.

A family picture minus the Newfs.

The Newfs were too busy waiting for Santa, at home.

Don’t worry, they did a good job and made sure that Santa didn’t even try to come down the chimney when we were not home.

Christmas day was just as enjoyable as Christmas Eve and rumor in the house is that the kids had the best Christmas EVER! (Whew! I have no idea how that happened!)

Sherman and Leroy weren’t disappointed either, they each got their own toys from Santa, and while Leroy was quite thrilled with his

Sherman preferred his dirty old toy over his BRAND NEW, almost exactly the same Air Dog toy.

Word around the house is that he prefers his toys caked with slobber and overused.

We hope that you and your family had a wonderful, relaxing holiday and I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful holiday cards. I did my best to get them sent out but I know that I missed a few of our peeps.  Please accept my apologies.


You can breathe now, it’s over:)
