HalloThankMas

It wasn't Santa Claus who stopped by our house on Sunday when we gathered with the kids to "celebrate" Christmas. We planned to exchange gifts since this was the only weekend we all had free before we leave for the winter. There was a request for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday with turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, all from scratch, and I complied. That is the "Thank" part of the holiday title. We did exchange gifts, thus the "Mas" part of the holiday title. And because it was close to Halloween, the "Hallo" title beginning.

Rocco is patiently waiting for his gift.

Look what the Gopher Fairy brought for the Grand dog! Actually, he did not mind the dog coat and wore it for more than an hour. Isn't he cute???


Wearing the hood was another matter. Rocco did not care for the hood part of the hoodie outfit. It really is the cutest thing with the "hand warmer" pocket and drawstring for the hood. I can see why Kari thought Rocco needed it.

Oh, just wait until their are grand kids/nieces or nephews!

Karl is sporting his Minnesota wear. In fact, everyone got something related to the University of Minnesota Gophers, including hand and foot warmers, hoping to stay warm for the last three outdoor home games. The Gopher Fairies did good.
