Matt and I got a new recliner. We realized that it was the first 'real' piece of furniture we have purchased together. We decided right away that we wouldn't allow any dogs in the chair. We were keeping to for ourselves. Well, we got home, made some dinner and looked over, only to find little Charlie all snuggled in an sleeping. He looked to cute to kick out, so now we check with Charlie to see if we can sit in his chair. 
These cupcakes are from a Martha Stewart recipe I found. I am working to find a good icing recipe- one that is light and fluffy, yet easy to work with in decorating.
It seemed that everyone brought a bottle of champaigne, yet they were all different brands, no naturally we had to try them all.
... and then the Glamour Shots began.
Matt and Brad put in countless hours playing Mario Kart. It seemed that everytime there was a lull in the conversation, one of them was saying, "We'll just play a quick game."
While they played video games, Victoria and I made cookies and drank wine. Too fun! After trying a new recipe for Chocolate Mint Sandwich cookies, I looked at the fine print of the recipe and discovered EACH cookie had 647 calories!!! Needless to say, that was the first and last year this house will be eating those cookies.
Alice was more than a little excited for Christmas morning. It seems this little girl loves presents!
Alice enjoyed the day dressed in her turkey bandana. We gave them both a little turkey and not long after they were both sick. Needless to say, we are sticking to just their regular food.
