Merry Christmas!

Here in the Koenig household we have been celebrating for days already. We had Christmas up in the fox valley with Kathi's family rounding out with a trip through a light display in menomonie park. We made a stop and saw live reindeer and had our picture taken in a sleigh.








And visions of sugar plums danced in their furry little heads! (note the festive collars - they have matching leashes!)

Jingle dogs - both of our puppies sported Christmas collars with jingle bells on them. Puja, for a short time had bells on her little paws. She tried to get them off and Mojo tried to help her. Eventually we gave her a break and left her with just the collar.











The puppies were starting to wind down after a long day. We had a relaxing day watching Christmas movies and getting ready for Christmas Eve. Late in the afternoon we had several friends over for dinner and then headed off to church. We ended the evening playing games at our friend Raleen's house. .

Patience isn't usually a puppy virtue, but they have been threatened with enough coal that they are being very good down the streach as they wait for Santa.








Finally the big day - Santa arrived and was very good to us.









The puppies loved their giant rawhide candy canes and all the stuffed, squeaky things Santa left them. They've chewed and sniffed and explored the tree. Double checked those stockings again to make sure they were empty, and finally... a nap.









And to all a good night. The paper is in the trash and we've played with all our toys and have now settled down to enjoy all of the wonderful Christmas gifts that we received this year. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
