Thanks everyone for welcoming me. It looks like Chocolate is everyone's favorite. Mine too! I think one of the coolest scientific discoveries was when they found out dark choclate is healthy for your heart. I think we women already knew that!

Is anyone else still trying to finish up the holidays? I still have a few Christmas Cards to send (thankfully, my card this year is just a picture of the 2 dogs with a winter theme, so it won't be too odd for the people reciving it so late), and the ingredients for homemeade eggnog intended for New Year's Eve is still sitting in the fridge. But most things have been finished up and no one seemed to care that I scaled Christmas way back this year.

The dogs all had a great Christmas. My huibby had this idea: we let the dogs decide how often, when, and for how long we played with them on Christmas day. They loved it of course!
