a four dog night

you may have heard the phrase a "three dog night?" well, here at doggie day care fuquay, we prefer a four dog night.

we call it a river of dogs, but it makes us happy to be able to have all the pups at our house for the holidays. with deac (emily & brad) and bailey (jill & robert) joining our clan, we are having a great week! some might call us crazy, but it's pretty cute when they all get in their beds like this!

no white christmas

so, for the last two years, we have had friends and family flying into denver around christmas and new years only to be met with two of the biggest snowfalls (aka blizzards) ever. this year, richard and i were on our own for christmas and of course, no snow at all! in fact - it was 60 degrees here yesterday!

here are a few pics from our quiet holiday...

richard may have had a little two much fun getting the turkey ready!

but we were so proud of our first turkey on our own. with only 10 calls to our parents for advice, it came out great!

the stovalls joined us for christmas dinner and brought yummy sides for all to enjoy. it was a great meal that we were still enjoying 5 days later thanks to the leftovers!

even without any turkey, dirk was in a tryptophan coma christmas night from all the excitement

the last few weeks

well, we got a new camera so the updates should come a little more frequently now. here are a few shots from thankgiving in dallas, the university medicine christmas party, girls night out at our church, our christmas party and our cute pups who love to pose for the camera!
