A Christmas tree, a fireplace and a dog.

A true family portrait. You'll probably see this one next year on our Christmas cards.

Snow!Snow!Snow!

I got this one just before Gus almost pulled Ethel into the ravine. The dog just didn't know what to do with all that snow.

Pool Shark!!!!

Lana did more praying in this game then she's done in a long time.

Karaoke Sisters

"Love Shack Baaaby; ya!"

[I wanted to fall to sleep but the noise was deafening.]

The Entertainment

Karaoke anyone? Now you know why everyone was sleeping.

Hesler Christmas Party

Excitement reigns at the Hesler's during the Christmas festivities!

This is Zelda. Zelda is Dustin's dog. She is part Doberman, part Rottweiler, and 100% lovey. She needs more attention than any other dog I've met. As you can see, she and Tucker are sharing a pillow. That's about the only thing she'll share with Tucker. If there are 2 or 3 bones out, she will find them all and stack them around her so that he can not get them. If they're small enough, she'll put them in her food dish and eat around them. Despite the sharing conflicts, they get along great!

This is Tucker's friend Denali. Denali is Stacy's dog. We take turns dog sitting for each other when we have to go away on business. It rained for about 10 minutes before I let these two out to go to the bathroom. I think they found every mud hole in the yard.
