A lil stocking crazy...

Christmas!

First Christmas in our new home. Everything was great, we are blessed, especially with two very good, very handsome Boston boys as part of our little family. Merry Christmas to everyone we couldn't be with- we hope Santa was good to you too! Rocco and Dex each got a puffy, fleece-lined winter coat from Old Navy, new winter collars with tags and charms (Rocco's says "Best Friend" and Dex's says "Good Boy"), a tshirt each and lots and lots of stocking treats (two new Cuz toys, tennis balls, and stuffie squirels) and yummies too! Grammy and Grampy we are looking forward to our visit this weekend :)
Momma are serious with these jingle bells?! The stockings were hung by the window with care-stuffed with goodies, Santa had been there
Hey look! There's stuff in there!

This one's mine! There's an "R" on it! Give it to me!

Hey Dex! Look there's one here for you too, but I call dibs if you get any really good stuff!

You guys took too long- I'm gonna do this stocking thing myself!
He's got a Cuz- get him!

Just back away from the tennis ball Mommy.

Rocco pooped from a busy weekend, sleeping with Dad on the couch.


Our Neighbors, Holly and Patrick, came over for Game Night on Sunday for some Monopoly as we all spent three days cooped up in our houses due to the snow.
