It's my birthday, but I don't even know it!

Today is Herc's 2nd birthday! I can't believe what a big boy he's becoming. They say two is when they get out of the puppy stage and calm down a lot so I'm looking forward to that. Herc blesses our lives so much. It's strange how much joy an animal brings into your home. A lot of people roll their eyes when I talk about my baby boy, but I can't help but love him and fuss over him.
Here's a few shot of Herc catching his ball. He will play forever and ever if you let him.

If you've ever played fetch with Herc you'd appreciate these pictures. I love how they capture his hands in the air. He's the only dog I've seen that tries to catch the ball in his hands.

This picture cracks me up.

Christmas time!

This is Christmas morning at the Alexander's house where we had breakfast.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was at our house this year and it turned out very well. I actually cooked for everyone, which is a big suprise. We had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and home made gravy. It's not a traditional dish for Christmas time, but it's my specialty and I like to stick with what I'm comfortable with. Here is just a few pictures of the big event!
