Oh, that face...


It's no secret that with two married daughters, I'm old enough to have grandkids, but alas, I have none; only a grandpuppy and grandkitties. Vinny, (Vincenzo) a French Bulldog, is the newest member of the family and he belongs to Erin and Keith, our St. Louis kids. Spoiled is a word that comes to mind. Notice the quilted barn coat and rhinestone collar. But hey, he's so darn cute you can't blame them. 










Puppy portraits...
(Gee, I love this new camera!)





Erin and Keith


and Aly and Chris,
waiting to unwrap gifts.
Our tradition is to open them Christmas Eve.


I was in my pajamas and glasses, so no photos of moi.
you'd thank me.

I'm looking forward to the New Year,
but first our Anniversary, tomorrow.
Hope you are recovering from the Christmas Rush.
I spent all day Sunday in my Jammies.

love to all,
Debra

  7. You're right- when I look at Vinnie, I can't help but smile.

  13. Hi Debra! What a beautiful family you have and I love the little grand puppy's face. We had a Boston Terrier for 15 years and she looked so much like your grand puppy. Little Bulldogs are the sweetest things. Hope you kissed that little punched in face! :)
    Be a sweetie,

  14. What lovely couples, Debra! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and Christmas Eve! I did manage to get dressed yesterday even though I had the house to myself and our blizzard started. I did a little bit of everything though because there was nothing that HAD TO get done. I was very pleased that I was able to start a couple of projects and actually finish one, too!

  17. Oh this is so much a Show & Tail link up post!
    Who could not love that face. Not spoiled at all, either.
    No grandkids yet for me but plenty of furry love to go round.


    I am living in longjohns, sweats and slippers. Good enough?
