The tree at the ranch. How they find such a huge, gorgeous tree each year is beyond me.
Reese in front of the tree and presents. This year, she really understood Christmas (much discussion of Baby Jesus) and also Santa Claus, which made Christmas so much fun. Although she was not real keen on some guy coming into the house while we were sleeping. Can't say I blame her--it does defy logic. Also, all the discussion of naughty v. nice this season has had an effect on her. She calls this nighttime garb her "Cinderella naughty" instead of nightie. Many jokes can be made about getting in your "naughty," etc.
Reesie and her Papa, Christmas morning.
Trying on her new "tutu dress"
Just lounging in the Diva dress--on the new beloved pillow she got from Nanci.
Now, for the pics many of you skipped forward to see. Introducing Greta, our new mini labradoodle pup! Her is the big introduction between Reese and Greta. Love at first sight on both ends.
She's a precious and super soft little thing.
Reese was determined that although it was 78 degrees and dogs have fur, Greta desperately needed her blankie.
Goofing around with Greta. Before we left for the farm, they were out in the yard, running around together like two peas in a pod. The breeder told David Greta went everywhere with her 4-yr-old daughter, so she's used to the little ones.
Reese, on our way into the Union Hill Farm. She wanted to hold Greta and be the one to present her to the family.
Georgia, preparing canapes for the family. Yummy!
Bain & the pup--new buddies!
Blake can't move.
Because Greta has found a new favorite spot.
Mary Blake and Reese, chillin'. Reese pretty much follows any and all of her cousins around, in awe of them.
Greta and her pal, Bevo.
Greta is adorable and very sweet. The first night (at the farm), she went right into her crate and barely cried through the night. Last night (first night home), she went into her crate and shrieked like a wounded banshee spider monkey for 2 hours straight, until David insisted that I go get her and bring her into our room. Through my pounding headache and tears of stress, I agreed. I am going to try to just put her in the crate throughout the day today so it isn't so sudden--she pretty much napped on my lap all day yesterday. But she's supposed to be crate trained, and it's something that really needs to happen. Crate training advice, anyone? Lay it on! Please!

Greta's awesome! What a cute little bundle of fuzz :) Tell Reese that Dolce can't wait to meet her.
We miss you all! Hope your holidays are continuing to be fabulous -- we're digging out from under 6' of snow in a week!
Greta is adorable! She is so tiny! When can I meet her??
