A Corgi Christmas

  A little late, but we participated in The Corgi Butts Christmas Exchange that Kelly set up last year for us. We received our present and I had to keep it away from Wrigley because he kept sniffing it, knowing it was his. Ever since the exchange last year, Wrigley has loved opening gifts (I wish I had taken a video; it's hilarious!) because he thinks each present is for him and he loves tearing the paper and sticking his head in bags.

  Our present was wrapped so nicely within the shipping box and Wrigley was going crazy. We opened the card and found out our Secret Corgi Santa was Aparna and Gryff! I thought this was funny because last year, we sent Gryff's gift!

Finally to the good stuff, Mom!! 

  Opening the last box, we found a gift for me--a very cute reusable bag which I love! And there were two gifts for Wrigley: a skinneez raccoon and a galileo bone. He could not wait to get his teeth on both of them!!

Gimme dat coon!

  Thank you so much, Aparna and Gryff!!! We love our gifts!! I can't wait for next year again! It's such a cool gift exchange!

Just a Little Late

  Better late than never, right? As I'm supposed to be taking my Christmas decorations down officially today, I will finally post a few pictures of the Christmas decor I was able to put up around the house. I can't believe that Christmas is already over! I'm in mourning as I love Christmas and this year I wasn't able to get my decorations up as soon as I wanted to! Oh well! Better luck next year!
  *Eek, I just reached my limit of storage space on my blog and had to purchase more space? Has this happened to anyone else?

   Well, there ya go. Not too much, but it worked for me this year. I can't wait to hopefully add some more decorations next year! (I forgot to take pictures of my wreath and garland on the front porch. Oh well!!

Corgi Christmas

  We participated in Kelly's Corgi Butts Secret Santa Exchange and it was awesome! Since Patrick was flying up to see his family in Chicago yesterday, we decided to do our Christmas a little early on the 23rd. I had to work on the 23rd and had just been hit by a drunk at a stoplight coming home, so please pardon the terrible pictures of me!

  We received our present and Wrigley was ready and waiting to open his gift! He was slightly apprehensive at first, but after he saw the awesome toys inside, he couldn't wait to stick his nose into every bag under the tree. Silly corgi, not all Christmas bags are for you!!

  We opened the card first and found out that our Secret Santa was none other than Kelly and Gibson!! The card is ridiculously awesome!!

 I pull out the first item and it's a mini muttpuppet. I squeak the squeaker and of course, Wrigley lunges for it and runs off with it to his spot. 

 Next, I pull out a kong tennis ball that squeaks and Wrigley comes running back for that. 

  Also inside is a large antler which attracts Wrigster's attention immediately, but he isn't so sure he wants to let go of the tennis ball, so he switches to his game of kickball with the antler in his mouth.

  Kelly also included a cute corgi magnet that is proudly displayed on my fridge. I love it!
Thank you so much, Kelly and Gibson! I hope you decide to do the exchange again next year; we're totally up for it!!

  Merry Christmas, y'all!!
