Our Sweet Pets

 Hello, lovely readers!  One of the many things Chrissa and I are thankful for are our two playful pets, Sugar and Chocolate Chip. 

 This is my dog, Sugar.  She is a Yorkshire Terrier (or "Yorkie"), and I love her so very much!  Because it is easily tangled, I bush her soft fur every morning.  She has a gentle spirit, and is quite a cutie!

 Chrissa's dog, Chocolate Chip, is a Chocolate Lab puppy.  She is extraordinarily energetic, always ready for a walk.  Because of this, Chocolate Chip brings loads of energy into our house.

Below are pictures of both of them that I snapped this morning, first Sugar then Chocolate Chip.

 Look at her cute little nose!

 High and mighty Chocolate Chip (silly puppy).

 Chrissa and I are so thankful for our adorable, loyal, furry puppies!

Do you have any pets?

My Pen Pals are Awesome!

 Hi all!  Today not one, but TWO letters came for me the mail!  Here's how it happened...

 I was outside, enjoying the lovely weather by laying on a towel (and thinking that we really should get a hammock), when Elizabeth walked into the grass carrying three letters.

 "Chrissa!  When I picked up our mail, I found three letters for us!" Elizabeth happily reported.  "One for you, one for me, and one for both of us!"

"That's amaze!" I shouted.  "Let's open them up!"  I was extremely happy, so much so that I was jumping up and down!  Even though Elizabeth didn't join me in my crazy act, her smile told me that she was just as pleased as I was. 

 Quietly, my sister and I read our letters from Lexie and Melody, who live in TN, and from Libby and Marie-Grace, our cousins in NE. 

I am SO thankful for my encouraging and hilarious pen pals.  They are such a blessing!

Do you have pen pals?

A Week of Thanksgiving

Hi all!  It was so my turn to post, because Elizabeth has done the last like, three posts or something? The point is, I'm glad it's my turn!  Anyway, back to the point.  Starting today, a week from Thanksgiving, Elizabeth and I are going to try to post each day one or two things we are thankful for, in celebration of Thanksgiving!  That will be incorporated into our normal posting.

P.S. I think it is kind of sad that right after we celebrate being thankful for all that we have, it's Christmas and we just are like "Oh, I want this and that and this (squeal) that shirt is adorbs!  Mom, can I get all this?"

What do you think?
