Day 4--Doggie Pick Up and Clean Up

Today we got to pick up our puppies (well one is still a puppy) from their respective caregivers. Zoe gets to go to the pet resorts because... well, she is a puppy and playing all day with other puppies is her measure of paradise. Brooky got to go stay with our friends Christy and Richard (and Sam!) because, well, they love her, she fits into their dynamic, and it makes us feel so good that she can stay with them.

Today we also un-decked our halls. We love to decorate so it is no small task. Oh and our tree is real. And 12 feet high.

So . a . lot . of . clean . up .

AND IT'S ALL DONE!! Every little bit from the tree to ornaments, to lights to pine needles. All done. Yay!

Today I am thankful and happy for a clean house that is de-Christmas-ified. A carefree family that doesn't care that I didn't make a proper dinner, and loves to just hang out. I am also happy and very thankful for good friends that take care of our precious "puppy".

That's all. And that is so great.
