The holidays are here!

We have almost made it through another year! We decorated our house for Christmas this weekend, and the kids decorated the tree all by themselves! They did a great job! We also attended Elena's first art show at her school and took home a wonderful framed work of art that she painted! We saw Santa, too! All of the kids got a chance to tell him what they want for Christmas this year! Isabella was scared of him, though, so I got a cute video of her hiding behind a pillar and repeating, "Santa, I'm right here!" I will post pictures soon!

Meet Rocky, our new doggie

We adopted Rocky on Sunday from the Dawson County Animal Shelter. We liked his size of only 28 lbs. and his sweet personality. We knew nothing else about him, other than that he was healthy and friendly. We have since learned that he is very quiet, loving and smart. He is already house trained! He loves riding in the car! He loves playing outside with the kids! We have been looking for a while now for the perfect dog for our family, and we really feel fortunate to have found him!
