This is Chocolate under the Christmas tree. He loves this hiding place because he can watch everything that is going on while at the same time staying hidden from the dog. I am still getting used to my new camera and tried to take photos of the tree ornaments. Most of them came out blurry so I need to refer to the instruction book to see what I can change. The weather was fairly nice today and Kitty got quite a few walks. I tossed the football around with Greg as he was missing football Sunday with Brandon.
Greg and I made the first batch of buckeyes for the holiday season. I will take pictures of some of our creations. Of course, this will be the first of many batches of sweet treats. I used the buckeyes as an incentive for Casey to get her college applications done. She is working on Smith, Dartmouth, Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Brown apps. This is the week she needs to have them done and into the counselor. I will be glad when she finds out where she is going next fall.
Tomorrow we all go back to work and school. It seemed as if the break went by too fast. Greg can't believe how fast the 9 day break went. I will probably take Tuesday or Wednesday off to do some shopping and mailing of presents. I'm glad we aren't having a Christmas party this year as it just stresses me out and puts me in a foul mood for quite a few days. I think Larry backed off from it because it was going to require more work on his part. Now, I can just focus on our family Christmas and the reason for the season.
