The Christmas Card Tradition Lives On

Mommy picked up some extra work hours today, but Mommy spent this morning with the both of you.  Bodhi, you are entering a new phase... Mommy was stunned when while I was getting cleaned up, you came walking in the bathroom and said, "Mommy, when I was at GiGi's there was a dog that the people don't let inside and it has a boo boo, GiGi put medicine on the boo and I fed the poor baby a treat, but it snapped at me cause it can't see, but those mean people don't let it inside."  HA/HA!  Mommy was in shock.  This was the absolute first time you initiated and told an entire story.  It was so precious, and I could understand most of :)  You are growing up soooo fast!  You are so incredibly smart, Mommy and Daddy are just amazed at how observant and creative you are.  Jude, you are talking more and more as well.  You talk much clearer than your sister, but you both have a funny accent thing going on hee/hee  Bodhi, you asked to play beauty shop on Momma.  Mommy was in a hurry to get things done, but Mommy put her to-do list on hold so that you could brush and blow dry Mommy's hair.  It's a good thing Mommy's head isn't sensitive, but you did a great job.  

After playing beauty shop, Mommy gave you both a bath and got you two dressed.  You two still love your baths, and you both love taking baths together.  GiGi stopped by and ended up taking you, Jude, to her house an hour early.  Bodhi, Mommy gathered up my work supplies and we headed over to Grandmoo's.  Neither of you napped, well, you napped for like a half hour, Jude.  Mommy's work schedule interferes with your guy's naps :(  Daddy picked you, Jude, up at 7pm.  Bodhi, you weren't ready to go yet.  You and Grandmoo were busy baking and you ended up taking a late nap.  So, Mommy picked Bodhi up after work and after collecting our rent.  You were pretty wound up and not wanting to go home or go to bed, so Mommy promised you we would dress Ms. Allie and Mr. Arlo up and take Christmas photos when we arrived home.  Once home, you and Jude assisted Mommy with preparing props and getting Ms. Allie to look at the camera and say "cheese."  Mommy didn't think our doggy Christmas cards were going to continue this year, it's the first year without Mr. Murff and Ms. Allie doesn't seem like the type to cooperate.  However, Mommy was pleasantly surprised... once Mommy got the costume on Ms. Allie, she fully cooperated and was calm through it all ha/ha  I think Holsapple dogs just instinctively know to cooperate or the photo session will drag on :)  You two even assisted Mommy with clean-up :)  Now Mommy just has to find the time to design this years Christmas cards. 

Sweet dreams my sweet sweet babes :)
