Christmas is Coming


Yesterday we started to get the house ready for Christmas and our Christmas owl came out again :-)


Leigh's brother and nephew had been visiting and Trilby thought she'd sniff out Euan's rucksack in case he had treats hidden there. He didn't :-(


Aoife knew the best place to look for treats is under the Christmas tree but nothing there either yet.


Then the dreaded Christmas hats - Crybbe tried to keep his foot on this one but still had to have one photo with it on his head!


and Trilby got caught while she was taking a power nap:



 Here's a little close up of the tree - it looks better when it's lit at night but there are lots of toys and baubles on it and maybe nearer Christmas some tasty treats :-)


After a long evening working on Christmassy decorations I was getting pretty tired so Trilby gave me a wash:


and then we both fell asleep:


But before I go I would like to say a huge thank you to sweet Cotton  of Cotton's Candy for giving us this award. Thank you Cotton from us all here in the Doghouse :-) It is greatly appreciated!

  1. Hey guys! You'd never guess what came in the mail today! We got your pretty card. I just love it. I even showed it to my niece and we have a new pronunciation for Aiofe's name.... A-Yo!-Fee.

    I love the Christmas atmosphere... I bet Magic hates wearing that garland/pink boa. LOL.

    Huggies and Cheese,

  3. Your Christmas owl is really lovely. Crybbe's hat suits him even though he is wearing it under protest :-) Not long now then there'll be lots of tasty treats.

  5. Hey, it's funny when Xmas starts coming out of the shed and into the house! I got wrapped in tinsel (again :-( ) Nice to hear you have visitors already.... we're getting ready for our big Xmas bash on the 22nd..... menu planning...shopping.....pantry and fridge cleaning..... house primping etc etc. It's exhausting!
