That is so cute! Hope you have a nice holiday! Stay warm! It is FREEZING here! #10923295

Thanks everyone, I just wanted to add one more, I put some of the photos I used to decorate the tree on the picture! The dogs were real sports and were fairly patient while I shot these. I think the roast beef sandwiches helped! #10923508

Woops saw a mistake and fixed it, sorry! #10923519

Beth - you have made me laugh today. I love how creative you got with decorating the tree with images of your babies!! Sampson would NEVER have let me put a hat on him for a picture like that - and you had to orchestrate the two of them. Incredible!! I didn't even send Christmas cards this year. I may play catch-up after the New Year. I usually do every other year and if I don't send out something this year I will be two years in arrears.

Have a wonderful holiday with your family AND your two furry children, too!! #10923524

Beth Spencer December 16, 2013

Glad it made you smile Debbie!!
Rita a pickle on the tree? Did you all hide one or is it some sort of family tradition? #10923526

Dale Hardin December 16, 2013

roast beef sandwiches will work for me too, Beth. #10923530

Beth Spencer December 16, 2013

Only if you smile pretty and wear the hat for your picture!! Ice cream might work better for you though! #10923533

Dale Hardin December 16, 2013

Sure, I'll wear the hat if I get ice cream too. By the way, we hid s pickle in the tree also. #10923543

Beth Spencer December 16, 2013

I have never heard of hiding a pickle in the tree. Is it some kind of tradition? #10923554

Hi Beth. I wish you a very blessed and joy filled Christmas and New year.
And what a very creative card.
You've never heard of the pickle in the Xmas tree tradition? Where you've been hiding girl! But truth told, neither had I until I came to the US 20yrs ago. There appear to be many versions of its purpose but I like the one that says a pickle ornament is hung deep within the decorations on the Xmas tree so that in looking for it the finder can claim a year's good fortune and will have taken time to admire all the other baubles. presumably the original pickle was a real one and the glass decoration was something our enterprising manufacturers latched onto.
And did you know? Of course not! Berrien, Michigan claims to be the Christmas Pickle capital of the World and holds a festival and parade to celebrate that fact. No doubt they have a giant pickle hall of fame too but I can't prove that. Love this whacky country! #10923779

Beth Spencer December 17, 2013

Merry Christmas to you Peter! Thanks so much for that information! I truly have never heard that one! #10923795

Jeff E Jensen December 17, 2013

Merry Christmas, Beth! Say hi to Rocky for me. #10923831

Beth Spencer December 17, 2013

Merry Christmas, to you and your family also! Tell them all HI for us! #10923846

Michael Kelly level-classic December 17, 2013

Merry Christmas to you too, Beth. Thanks for the card and smiles with your cute Charismas doggies. #10924015

Beth Spencer December 17, 2013

Merry Christmas to you and Sherry also!! #10924021

Sherran Andersen level-classic December 19, 2013

Merry Christmas to you and yours Beth. Love your dogs. I haven't heard about the pickle in the tree either. #10925768
