Christmas Video

Here is a little short video of my twin nephews opening one of their Christmas presents from mom and Mike. They were so cute trying to open presents and sticking the paper in their mouths!

Merry Christmas to Toby

Toby just got a gift of an embroidered snuggie from my best friend Kelley's dog Lily. He seems to love it and won't let me take it off of him!

Toby's Hiding Spot




Toby loves to go around and try to find a perfect hiding spot for his treats. The funny thing is, he will hide it, then in 5-30 seconds, go back and get the treat, and hide it somewhere different. This trend continues for a while until he decides to finally eat his treat. Several nights ago, I noticed that he was using the Christmas tree as one of this hiding spots, but I didn't have a camera to get a picture. The other night, I finally had my camera handy and was able to get these shots. He is too funny, he was trying to push the skirt with his nose to hide the treat, such a funny pup!

Snowy Townhouse


Here is my townhouse with the remaining snow from Friday. I love the view from the back. It has been great living somewhere with a garage, and very helpful. It is so nice not having to worry about letting my car defrost on the way to work in the morning. Toby definitely loves the new place and enjoys the quiet of not living in an apartment or a hotel.

Toby in the Snow





Here are some of the pictures I took of Toby playing in the snow yesterday. After sitting all night and with the last bit of freezing rain we got, the snow was a bit crunchy on top. This meant that poor Macy's feet went down in the snow as she walked, but Toby was light enough that he was able to run on top of it! It was too cute watching him run around and enjoy himself!

Winter Wonderland

I built two small snowmen today, aren't they cute? Okay, so I don't have the true patience to build a large snowman, but the little ones are very cute :)

Let it snow

It started snowing yesterday around lunchtime. We had around 4 inches of snow all together. It is beautiful seeing everything covered in snow.

Toby's Grand Adventure


Toby is so excited to be moved into the townhouse! He goes exploring all around the townhouse daily and loves having his own space. I think he also loves the fact that we are so close to mom's house, because he can see her more often. Here he is exploring in the front bedroom.

Christmas Cards!

Here is my fireplace and mantle are covered with the Christmas cards that I have received so far. Such a fun time of the year! Also, I have a stocking hung for myself and Toby; Toby says he's been a good pup and that he really hopes that Santa brings him something good.

Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular!





My brother and I surprised our mother with tickets to see the Rockettes on tour tonight in Winston-Salem. It was an amazing show, and they are amazing performers and dancers. The toy soldier routine is simply amazing. Such a great show, and so much fun to see it in person!

New TV in Action!


I am now starting to move into the townhouse that I will be staying in, yay! Last night, I was able to put together my new tv stand (a Black Friday purchase) and finally take the tv out of the box. As mentioned in a previous post, this is a 55" LED, LCD tv, so it is massive. The picture doesn't do it justice, but the color and quality is amazing! The Blu Ray movies look great, it is almost like you are there with the people on the tv. I cannot wait to watch the Clemson game this weekend on the High Def tv!
