Christmas with Jake~


Last evening we celebrated Christmas with Jake since he will not be with us on Christmas Day.  


To say he got many presents is an understatement!


DSO Fritz got Jake a coonskin hat.  I love it.


I remember the coonskin hat my brother Bill had when he was young, but back then, it was the real thing.  Here he is modeling Jake's.


Jake with his Dad.  Jake was in h-e-a-v-e-n!!!  Dad got him a Nintendo DS (or whatever it is called).  Here they are getting it set up.


Loocie all decked out for Christmas.


Me and my sweetie and the furbabies.


Brother Bill again with his DSO Lyn.


Here's Annie all ready for Christmas.  (Now that is a face only a mother could love!)


Can you tell she was less than thrilled with her hat?


Getting ready to start chewing on it.


Now I have to tell you that Annie must be the smartest dog in the world.  She can read!  She found her present under the tree . . .


. . . and started to open it.  I swear, she is just like a kid.  When she is out of sight and too quiet, I know she is up to no good!  


Thank you so much for stopping by.  I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read my blog.  A big thank you to those who leave a comment.  I have met so many wonderful people through blogging and I hope to meet many more in the new year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Pug hugs :)

  1. Jake looks like he won the Christmas lottery! I remember when we were kids coonskin caps were the rage because of the Davy Crockett series on Disney.
    Glad you had a nice celebration with the family.

  3. Lauren,
    That looks like a wonderful evening. Jake certainly cleaned up with the presents. He is not spoiled, he is loved!
    That coonskin hat is a hoot.

  5. It looks wonderfully festive at your place! Winnie has a holiday collar just like Loocie's. And, Cleo, has a Santa hat and, like Annie, is pretty much NOT enthused about it.

    I, however, think both Cleo and Annie look wonderful.

    Thanks for the peek into your holiday. Jake must have had a great time.

  10. Merry Christmas Lauren! I enjoyed all your pics. Zoe has been going after her gifts under the tree for some reason. She must smell something but they are just stuffed toys. We had to blockade them with other gifts so she can't get to them! Tomorrow morning we'll move them and see what she does. Aren't our fur babies funny?! Enjoy your time with loved ones. Hugs, Lori

  11. That coon skin hat certainly brings back memories of my younger years and the gifts the boys my age got since Fess Parker was the hero.

    Lovely home and very cozy. I'm sure your fur babies were most happy with the gifts and not so much for the holiday outfits they had to endure.

    Merry Christmas.

  16. I just love the coonskin cap on Jake. Our son had one when he was Jake's age (he also is a redhead) so I'm partial just a bit to redheads!

    Your family looks so sweet! Hope you have enjoyed every minute of the Holidays!
