We enjoyed our visit to the Sweet Onion City for Lily's first Christmas...it was a really long drive, but it was so worth it, and Duke was very happy we didn't fly so that he could come with us and play with his BC Morrison. Lily finally got to snuggle with her Auntie T, who didn't get to hold her during our last visit in November since she was a walking bronchitis germ. :)
Since there were a total of 5 dogs (yes, 5!) with all of us home for Christmas, Lily got plenty of practice with one of her new favorite skills...petting doggies! The usual victim is Duke, of course, who graciously stands still while Lily pats him, but Saucisse got some of the attention too...
On Christmas Eve, Lily joined us at the table (and then on the table) for dinner. Auntie Lizza made Julia Child's recipe for French Onion soup, and it was fabulous and very cheesy.
Later she snuggled with Daddy while we read the Christmas story, and, after taking some cheesy pictures with Mommy in matching pajamas, she gave us the best Christmas present we could hope for...a Silent Night. For the first time ever (and the only time to date), she went down in her crib by herself and stayed there until 6:30...wow! Of course, I hardly slept a wink because I was wondering what had happened, but it made for a very happy (though sleepy for Mommy) Christmas morning.
