day in the life of the worlds cutest puppy.

have i ever mentioned my puppy raider?

only 500 times? hmmm...

sometimes, when i'm sitting at work, i wonder what my cute little mister does all day.

here is my best guess:

i bet he's helping me with the laundry and watching a little downton abbey.
just call him Lord Raider. 

he's probably playing with destroying his toys and practicing his chewing skills.

and day dreaming about puppy things like chasing birds, eating dinner and trips to the park.

and recently, he became the star quarterback for bub-hub's NCAA team.
so obviously he's been training.

mostly, i think he sits around practicing his model face.
he's too cute for his own good.

"for unto us is born this day, in the city of David, 

a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

luke 2:11

christmas cards are probably one of my favorite parts of the holidays. 

i love checking the mail,

i love getting mail,

and i love decorating our refrigerator with photos and beautiful cards. 

me + christmas cards = m.f.e.o.

i will probably leave them up until valentines day.
