I just have to say, I love this time of year. I couldn't wait to get our tree up and the apartment decorated. I love having the tree lights on all the time and I don't understand why Justin can come in and not turn them on first thing in the morning, but he's getting the idea :) And much to our surprise, Maybel has not had any encounters with the tree so far. She really is a great dog.
Not much is going on around here except for doing some holiday things. We had a Christmas get together with our lifegroup at Blake and Danielle's on Saturday with some great food goodies and a friendly game of pictionary. The Lipscomb's officially suck at pictionary. Needless to say, we came in dead last. But that's ok, we still had fun with everyone. We took Maybel with us as well (sorry, did you really think we could do one post without mentioning her?) so that Dr. Blake could give her her 3rd round of shots. One more round and we'll be headed to the dog park. We can't wait to take her and let her loose. On the plus side of things, she is doing sooo much better on her walks and is starting to really enjoy them instead of refusing to move at all. Justin has also taught her to shake. She's very polite.
We've also started our Christmas shopping, but are still not finished. Knowing us, it will probably be close to the 24th before we're done. But we'll get it done. Other than the 70 degree weather today, it definitely feels like Christmas and I am counting down the days until our 2 week winter break!
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the season as well!
Here are some updated pics of Maybel and our decorated apartment:
This was at Thanksgiving at my parents house - Maybel just wanted to be close to their dog, Dubs, but this was a rare moment. I don't think he liked her being in his house very much.
Sitting pretty for the camera
She really does love her crate, she gets in there when the door is open even when we don't make her!
The Lipscomb family stockings
The tree - Maybel loves sleeping under the table, its her usual spot
Movie Quote: "Buzz, your girlfriend, woof!"
Movie quote- Toy Story(?) I'm not too sure!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Incorrect, but thanks for playing! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe movie quote is "Home Alone," although it has a strong reference to a quote from Kevin concerning a certain lady friend of Justin.
ReplyDeleteI knew that was coming.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could accomodate.
ReplyDeleteLove the stockings :) Are they from Pottery Barn? We just got the ones in that we ordered...similar but they are striped. Ebby has her own too...so fun. Who knew stockings brought such joy?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I hear ya on the Christmas tree lights thing. But don't worry, Justin will get the hang of it. Adam is a pro now:)
ReplyDeleteJustin, I think we should fight our dogs.
ReplyDeleteSure, Maybel will have a distinct size advantage, but Maggie is a scrapper and a little bit emotionally unstable.
She's the Mick Foley of the dog world.
I am for it. This dog cost us a lot of money. It's time she start earning some of it back.
ReplyDeleteI think the "emotional instability" comes from the yogurt and massages.
I think it's weird that it's "unstable" but not "unstability".
ReplyDeleteI think its weird that dog fights don't feature a referee or boxing gloves.
