Christmas...

is for kids...

...and puppies!  Because Josh and I don't have any kids yet, Christmas is a bit different for us.  A friend of mine told me that Christmas takes on a whole new dimension when you have little ones of your own.  She said that it becomes something totally new.

We are going to wait awhile for that new dimension, but for now we have Belle and Sadie (and one another and our families and friends) to buy gifts for.

This year, Santa is bringing Sadie and Belle a new fluffy, sherpa-covered dog bed.  We did, though, buy the kids in our family (all little boys!) rugged-and-little-boy-proof digital cameras.  Aaden, the baby, gets a portable dvd player so that his mom and dad, Kelly and Anthony, can pack up their car and come visit us in Cleveland (soon?).  We were so excited to go to Alabama after Christmas to visit everyone but had to postpone those plans because of a change in work schedule.  Bummer.  But, I'm sure we'll be making our way down South again soon.
