Christmas was simple this year. Stayed at home with the dogs, birds and fish.
Here's some pics and a short video of lots of great gifts.
This was our Christmas card this year:
Here's the video:
The weekend before we went to Jennifer's and Giupetto and Gianna met their new puppy Rocky:
Giupetto and Gianna were invited to our family's Easter brunch at Anthony and Laura's.
I think everyone had a great time.
The youngest granddaughter, Antonia, just loved the dogs. I can't wait until she gets a puppy of her own.
Antonia and my Gianna were both wearing frilly yellow dresses. :-)
I was so busy running after the dogs I did not take a lot of pictures, but I did put a few together.
We all had lots of fun over this past weekend, with a visit from family at our house in PA.
Anthony, Laura and the 3 grandkids - Daniella, Michael and Andrew.
Here are some pics and Giupetto doing his tricks for the kids.
They played with my furbies. I made a Pot of Gold hat and we tried it on the furbies
Then we tried it on Giupetto. Here is Daniella - who loves the doggies:
We stopped to look at all the horses and take some pics - the boys were napping in the car:
The kids LOVED Giupetto doing his tricks - they especially loved the sneezing and they wanted him to preform over and over again. LOL
Lots of laughs, but does he do his "Cheese Dance"?
Chirstmas 2012 was spent in New York and Pennsylvania this year.
First, of course, we had to have our annual photo shoot and selected our favorites - they are at the end:
My PetsJubilee family on etsy are filled with wonderful people many of whom exchanged gifts, including our secret santa:
I would say the Christmas fesitivities started on Christmas Eve at work, because I took the dogs to work that day, all dressed in their Christmas sweaters and jingle bell collars.
I am sure Giupetto and Gianna had lots of fun. They visited the other offices, and they hung out on my chair and on my desk.
We brought in pizza for lunch in the conference room, and they made friends with my boss, who fed them some pizza, carefully blowing on each piece to make sure it was cool enough for the dogs to eat.
Christmas eve after work we went out to dinner with the family and then went back to John's son's house, where we exchanged gifts. Included in these following pictures is a blanket my DIL Joy had made for us with some great pictures, including pics of Giupetto and Gianna with thier kids. I just love it. I love all of my gifts.
I hope you have enjoyed my collection of Christmas photos.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
May the peace, love and joy of the season stay with you throughout 2013.
We went to John's daughter Jennifer's home for Thanksgiving.
This is the wonderful house they moved into recently.
Just such a wonderful place to be. I love the house too.
We took the 2 dogs and stayed over.
I think we all had a really great time.
In the past, their dog Lexie and my 2 dogs didn't get along that well, but everyone talked me into bringing them, and they were all right.
I think all 3 dogs have calmed down and everything went well.
Of course they all teased me the whole time about how terrible the dogs were getting along, as I was the only one worried. LOL
Some of the pics in the video were taken by the kids. They love cameras too.
At the end of the short video is a movie clip of Nicholas dancing - it is very cute.
Enjoy.
We had a wonderful time at the annual autumn festival.
The fair was a huge success, although quite exhausting.
We did have the dogs, Giupetto and Gianna with us for an hour or so on the second day, but I forgot to take pictures. They were dressed in the super hero costumes and they were a huge hit.
The weather was great, the crowds were great, and there was live music both days.
John's sister Linda and brother in law Andy invited us to visit their campsite, where they were camping on the beach at Montauk, NY. They had a trailor and a screened in tent for the picnic table. The put down a rug with chairs all around. A wonderful day of relaxation, comfort, fun and family.
We started our day with a little breakfast at an old stomping ground where we had been years ago in Montauk - John's Pancake house.
Then did a little shopping. Bought a new floppy straw hat, which unfortunatey I did not get a picture in, and a cute Montauk tee shirt, which John says makes me look pregnant, but I love it.
We then all met up at the pool. John's daughter Jennifer was there with our grandson's Thomas, Stephen and Nicholas. AAlso at the pool were John's sister Linda, her husband Andy, their daughter Danielle and her husband Herb and their 2 kids Christian and Natalie.
Enjoy.
We went to John's daughter Jennifer's. In attendance were Jennifer and hubby Greg and our grandsons - Thomas, Stephen and Nicholas, and their dog Lexie. Also there were John's son John, his wife Joy, our granddaughter Gianna, and grandsons Lucas and Marcus, and of course myself and Grandpa John.
For those of you watching this, in the heat, hope these pool pictures help cool you off.
