Merry Christmas

My most favorite day of the year is finally here!

Merry Christmas everyone :)

We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland - 12" of snow - to be exact! Before we could open presents or have breakfast we (or I should say Shane) HAD to shovel some snow out in the backyard so the dogs would be able to go out and potty. After an hour & a few choice words, it got done. Then he attempted to take Millie out - NOT an easy task! Imagine trying to walk a 65 lb bulldog with a sling through snow up to her belly! And of course she had to walk all over the yard...back & forth....just to find the right spot to potty! Silly dog - she is quite the work-out!

Once Shane got warmed up and settled, we gathered around the Xmas tree with the dogs and proceeded to open our gifts! The bulldogs are like kids when it comes to opening presents! They LOVE to open gifts and tear up the paper & it is so fun to watch. Neo on the otherhand would just rather hang out on the couch watching - as you can see in most of the pics:

Bubba anxiously awaiting to sample Neo's "treats" that he got!

Both bullies trying to check out what is in the bag!

It's a new stuffie for Neo!

Bubba got a new collar too! He was exhausted after opening all his gifts!

After the dogs opened all their gifts, Shane & I openend our gifts to each other. Then I made us homemade waffles in my new Belgium waffle maker which was one of the gifts I had gotten for xmas from my parents. Shane also attempted to make eggs on my new griddle he got me - attempted being the key word ;) They tasted good but pretty they were not! Will have to work on that...

We spent the rest of the day lounging around watching movies in our jammies. The snow continued to fall on & off all day long & was so pretty to watch - until it was time to take Millie out again and then I cursed the snow :( All in all, it was a wonderful Christmas day at the Taylor house! Hope you all had an equally pleasant Christmas with your families! Safe travels to those who are out & about this holiday weekend!
