 A snow day!  Madeline is working on her Felicity Fashion Studio here.  She really enjoys this Christmas gift, I'm going to look around to see if I can find deals on the other American Girl fashion studio books.

 A chilly, sunny day with a brisk wind almost all day long.  It sure kept our flag whipping in the wind!

Maxwell Not-so-smart, in extreme close-up.  I also took some pictures of his face while he was scratching, they are so goofy that I cannot post them.  It would wound his dignity. ;)

Our Max.  Boy is he a pain!  But we love him anyway.  He always has to be in the mix.  I don't think he quite understands that he is a DOG.  I think he views himself more as the least favorite child and is always wondering why the others get to go places, wear clothes, go to the bathroom in the house, eat off the table, etc.  This cold and sunny Sunday saw Max trying to get into whatever everyone else was doing - reading books, playing on the computer, cooking, cleaning, etc.  I think he likes it best when we are all home - his whole pack is there. <3
