Christmas decorations!

Every year on Black Friday my family would put up their Christmas decorations...so to carry on that tradition, we decorated the house yesterday. The tree is up (prelit!), garland on the fireplace and outside on our railing. The Christmas season has begun! Oh-and thanks to Nay Nay-my shopping is officially under way! The stores had our names on them at 6am yesterday! Yes- that's a tradition of ours as well.

Riley likes Starbucks!

Yup-even Riley likes Starbucks Pumpkin Lattes!

Graduation for Advance Obedience Class

Yesterday, Riley had her third graduation...this time from advanced obedience class. We had our "pretest" for the Canine Good Citizenship test before the graduation ceremony began.

Happy Adoption Day!

A year ago today, Richie adopted Riley from Long Island and brought her home for me as a birthday present. How much she's grown in a year! She's moved twice (from Richie's parent's house to my parent's house, then to our home now), she's taken 3 obedience classes, and shown so much love to everyone! Here's to many more years with my Riley girl! :-)
