A Very Sabres Christmas

We had a good Christmas this year. It was quiet and simple and we both had to work, but it was still really nice.

Here are our stockings. Yes two of the stockings are Sabres stockings. Each year, there seems to be a theme to Christmas. Our first Christmas was football helmets. Our second Christmas was Vikings. And this year, it was the Sabres, since that is Spencer's new obsession.

Here is our little tree. Yeah! for fake trees. They are so simple. And the lights are already on. You just pull it out, stack the pieces, and fluff the branches. Then just add the decorations and wa-la. You can't see the ornaments very well, but they are an assortment of BYU, Buffalo Bills, and Buffalo Sabres. Underneath are all of the gifts from our loved ones. Everyone was so nice to spend the extra money to ship us gifts. It was so sweet, thank you everyone!!

Santa didn't forget us this year. We got a DYSON vacuum that is good at cleaning up animal hair. It is awesome!! I recommend everyone gets a Dyson. We used to live with hard floors and didn't really need one. Now, we have mostly carpet and this vacuum is a life-saver, especially for Spencer. He really hates the hair.

We also got street hockey sticks and pucks so that our passion for hockey can continue. We like to play it gently in the house against the dogs (well, mostly Brady). We pass the ball back and forth and try to play keep-away from Brady. If he gets it, we tell him to drop it, and he does. He is a good sport. This is another useful way to get out the dogs energy. We haven't used it outside yet, but I hope that we do.

We got a lot of movies and cd's. We also got Sabres jerseys. We got some games from our friends, some jackets from our parents, a toy helicopter to chase the dogs with, and a lot of other great gifts.

I really wanted some warm gloves for Christmas because my mittens were old and just didn't keep my hands warm enough during Bills Games or skiing. My parents got me some AWESOME ski mittens. I love them.



Sorry I look like crap. We had to get up early so we could do Christmas before work and I didn't even put on any make-up or brush my hair.

The dogs got some treats from Homely and Joyce. They also got some bones. I even got them a goose and beaver toy. Mia loves to get out the squeakers. These ones actually lasted more than one day.

In this picture you can see a little piece of the goose stuck to Mia's lip.

After we opened Christmas presents, we had to hurry to work. Yes, the Bills had practice on Christmas. And of course the hospital never closes. Although it was a very quiet holiday.

We all had a good Christmas. Thanks again to Spencer's parents and my parents for going above and beyond on giving us gifts. We are so grateful to everyone. Thank you. I hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas. We missed you all so much.
