Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Just a picture of my boy, Riley. I just love his ember eyes!

I have taken a step back, and realized how blessed I am and I don't want to miss a thing, even the little stuff. This is most likely my last post until the new year, as we will be busy celebrating with family, so I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and New year!

I will leave you with this outtake from trying to take Christmas pictures of the pups, enjoy!

It is December... right?

Well, well, December is upon us! Although here in Houston, it seems like we've only just made it to Fall, I think mother nature forgot about us... because the temperatures are oddly warm/hot. It makes for working outside and all a lot more tolerable, but come on! We are in December and the high today is low 80's and muggy! Sigh...

In spite the warmer weather, I got into the Christmas spirit and got the decorations up and did a Christmas photo shoot with the pups! When they see my camera out, they know what is going on and beg to have their pictures taken! While one is having their picture taken, the other will sit off to the side and wait their turn, but sometimes it is just too tempting to jump in and photo bomb! I didn't get any pictures of their photo bomb attempts though, as soon as I saw Riley/Grace coming in, I stopped what I was doing to fix it.

Today I am just going to post their individual pictures, I have pictures of them together, but I feel like I can get better pictures. So those will be for another day!

(And sorry, some of the pictures are a little blurry. I was using my manual focus lens...)

Wordless Wednesday (sneak peak of Christmas pictures!)

Christmas Biscuits!

Today, after all house hold chores were done, I made Christmas biscuits for Riley. I found a recipe online and decided to try it out. Now, don't laugh, but I had to taste them :) They smelled like peanut butter but tasted like flour/nothing LOL Riley doesn't seem to care one bit, but next time I wanna try a different recipe. From now on I am going to try and make my own treats :) These were super easy and the others I read seemed just as easy.

Uncooked treats, just waiting on the oven!

Hey Mom, what are these? Are these for me?!

They smell GOOD!

 Finished product!

They smell good, but don't have much taste (to me) but Riley loves them.

Hubby came in from outside and said "Oooo whatcha making? Smells good! Oh, dog treats".... he pauses...."Can I eat one?"

Is this what you've been waiting for?

You have to wait and be a good boy.

"Sigh"

 

Ok, here ya go :) Enjoy!

Nom Nom Nom Nom

Nom Nom Nom

Can I have more? Please?

Ooo crumbs

Riley loved them, but then again he will eat just about anything. Next time I am going to try out a different recipe and give my review :)

HO HO HO!

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Paws is coming to town...

 He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Paws is coming to town...

 He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!...

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Paws is coming to town...

Santa Paws is coming to town!

Wishing everyone a safe and joyous filled Holiday season!

Love,

Riley and Family
