Little Star
We had our annual community Christmas dinner on Wednesday. Grayson and some other kids in the community had a little singing performance that they've been rehearsing for a couple weeks. Grayson did great and he actually sung pretty loud...especially when the sung into the microphone. When he sang Rudolph into the microphone, I got a little choked up and almost teared up! I totally felt like my mom!
Tonight, Grayson had his school Christmas program...and he did really well again! The 3 year old class did a cute song about wrapping themselves up and mailing themselves. They also did another song about Jesus where Grayson was jumping up and down and dancing during the rockin' out parts...and then would go back to singing and doing the hand motions at just the right parts. So cute!

Decorating the tree
Grayson and I finally got the tree decorated the other day. Its a highland Noble from the mountain area near Packwood. Its kind of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree...but its still pretty and I love it! It was nice that I didn't have to put as many lights on it this year...and couldn't use all the ball ornaments.

Clinic Party 2009: Ugly Christmas Sweaters
Our annual vet clinic party was this past Saturday. The theme was 'Ugly Christmas Sweaters'. Of course, I went over-the-top with it all and did the whole outfit. When I was looking for these sweaters, I saw on eBay that some of them were going for $200! So, I scoured every Goodwill in Thurston County and Spanaway along with several other thrift stores in the area. I'll be selling some of these and hope to make bank on them!
I took some of the sweaters and embellished them with more tacky items. I ended up making Heath's reindeer sweater from scratch. My sweater (costume more or less) won 1st prize! Apparently, they are getting something made for the winner that has to be worn at work. Hmmm....

R.I.P. Cedar

I just got some really, really sad news about my dear dog 'cousin', Cedar. I just found out tonight by dad that he had just been diagnosed with a pretty aggressive form of cancer that had spread to his lungs. Shortly after I found this out, I learned that they had to put him to sleep because the cancer had gotten worse and he was having trouble breathing despite chemotherapy efforts. Its very shocking because he is pretty young.
Cedar had the privilege of joining the Boyle family when he was a wee pup. He turned into a ginormous, goofy Golden Retriever that had quite a personality. He was very mellow mannered and reminded me a lot of the Golden I grew up with. He really just wanted to love you and be loved back. Such a sweet guy!
As I write this I get flooded with tears because its so very sad and sudden. We will miss that guy!

Veteran's Day photo shoot
We had another beautiful (but cold) sunny day on Veteran's Day...so, we decided to head over to dad's field and barn for a little family photo shoot. The pictures didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but they are still pretty good. Rune (Gary and Debbie's dog) has been staying with us while they are in Wyoming, so she got her picture taken also.
