Hi Linda!
I loved this post with the "apres xmas theme. I have enjoyed being a reader! I hope to tune in even more in the new year, when things get back to "normalement". Maryanne

Sharon said...

So cute!!! Doggie embodies the typical after-christmas spirit aka happy but exhausted:P

Melissa said...

Sadie wishes her Christmas was that good! She has been terrorized by her two small young cousins and is terrified of the resident Great Pyrenees! When he is near her she backs into a corner, gets as small as she can, and stares at the floor, hoping that he doesn't come near her. It really is pretty funny.

I hope Santa was good to you and your family!
