Funny Holiday Stories and Doodle Card Photos!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

I'm trying my best to get into the holiday spirit.  This morning we have a dusting of snow and it isn't 60 degrees in December in Ohio so that was a start.  This morning I was taking some photos of the girls with all of the doodle cards that they have received.  That reminded me of a funny story from when I was wrapping presents the other day so I thought I would share both with the hope that others might join in and share theirs.  Maybe then I can find some holiday spirit.

On Wednesday I was in what I call Emma's room which becomes Christmas central this time of year and is where I toss all the presents as I buy them.  Emma is our Great Niece and unless she is at the house that door stays closed and the dogs aren't allowed in there.  That makes Lucy a little sad because that is the only bed in the house that she will fit under and Lucy loves to be under anything.  When I finished wrapping all the presents I closed the door and went and sat down on the Sofa.  I've been struggling with a cold all week so I was feeling pretty tired at that point.  All of a sudden I heard the faintest "woof" and Sophie jumped up and ran to the door of Emma's room.  I didn't remember either of the dogs coming into the room when I was wrapping, but went to check for the "woof".  Opened the door and called to Lucy and got no response.  I then went and checked the rest of the house and could not find her anywhere.  So, I knew she had to be under the bed.  I went back in and looked and sure enough, there she was.  Unfortunately she had gotten under there in between a couple boxes and couldn't get out.  She can just barely fit under there and she can only move forward once she is under ... there is no backing up!  As soon as I moved one of the boxes that was in front of her she crawled the rest of the way out.   It was so funny seeing her under there looking like "ok, what do I do now!  I really don't mind being here, but at some point I have to get out"!

So, share a photo of how you displayed your doodle cards or share a funny story with me!

Merry Christmas!

"No, Doctor, she was sleeping UNDER the crib... not in a bunk bed..... UNDER the crib.  You see, we set it up for the baby and the kids flipped a coin to see who got to sleep UNDER the crib..... wha wha wha...."

P.S. I was ready-to-pop pregnant  too which made me even less able to look like a reliable teller of facts.
