We had another warm and sunny Christmas in Miami!
Since the weather was in the 80's, we had a Christmas Eve pool party!
We had several friends over for a evening of good food and good dogs!
Our friends Jackie and Mike adopted their first greyhound and of course brought her to the party! She is a sweet, black and white girl named Leah!
Of course she fit right in with our hounds!
We set up the Wii which is always good for some entertainment!
There were some youngsters at the party that just loved the hounds and
of course they loved the attention!
This was Leah's first time around small children and she did great!
Luke got into the Christmas Spirit by wearing his Santa hat...
One of the little kids was fascinated with the dog door and kept himself occupied by using it as his own personal entryway!
On Christmas morning we all had huge breakfast before digging into presents and stockings. The hounds dug into theirs as usual.
After a HUGE breakfast and stuffing themselves with treats, the hounds fell asleep where they lay, surrounded by their spoils....
Later on they shifted around and
Luke and Jasmine had some snuggle time in front of the tree...
Later that afternoon, we went to the Zoo to watch the Chimpanzees and Gorillas
open their presents! It was hilarious!
We only caught the tail end of the Chimpanzees.
They were giving a huge snowman stuffed with treats that they happily tore apart!
The gorillas, on the other hand, were the most entertaining! There were given wrapped boxes stuffed with fruit, nuts and raisins!
Here are the zookeepers getting ready to toss out the gifts!
The zoo keepers tossed them in and the gorillas started grabbing for them!
It was really funny watching them fight to be the first one to the presents!
But in the end, the big daddy Silverback won most of the spoils!
After the treats were all gone, the gorillas started playing with the boxes.
"hhhmmmm....what do I do now?"
"I know! I'll rip it off like King Kong!"
It was a wonderful Christmas with my husband being home and celebrating with friends!
I hope everyone had just as wonderful holiday!
