Mom has counted all the tickets, put them in a tupperware container and PlusOne and Dad pulled the winners.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all our blogger buddies. We hope your day is filled with love, happiness, warmth and good food!
I think I'll just sit here and take a nap.

Mom has today off. What do you suppose my chances are of getting extra treats? Especially if she is supposed to bake?
Mom's boss told her yesterday that she looked tired, was she well? When mom told the receptionist that she replied for mom "I'm not tired, I'm EXHAUSTED!"
Right here looks like a nice place to nap.
Yes, dad, you're awesome!
PlusOne decorating the tree??? at Aunties. Uhhh, maybe not.
You left this one. That means it's up for grabs and we grabbed it. Don't worry, Lucky, he won't move us.
Especially when it is supposed to be in the mid 30's today, and the mid 20's tonight!
Mom is the official seamstress for the studio. She sews all the patches on the uniforms for the students and she has been known to hem pants and sleeves. Here I am helping her out by "breaking in" the uniforms waiting to be sewn. Aren't I being helpful?
It was raining almost all day yesterday. Pouring rain, non-stop rain. Rain that makes us very thankful that we have nice warm houses to live in with people who love us. Yes, we are very thankful today.
Lucky is ready to start relaxing with Dad and PlusOne. If she doesn't fall off dad first.
Here she is trying to get me interested in her karate book. Like I care about a book? Even if it is four inches thick.
This book has every technique, form and set mom has learned at karate in the last nine and a half years. As you can see, it is color coded (yellow are techniques she learned as a beginner, green is intermediate, light brownish is Black Belt Prep and white are Black Belt techniques.) Then all her forms are color coordinated, light pink Short One and Short Two, dark pink Long One and Long Two. Fluorescent Green is Form Four, Pale Blue is Form Five, Bright yellow is Form Six, and then there are the sets. They are different colors as well. I am not even going to go into the cross references pages mom has. Suffice to say that the best scientists in the world have nothing on her for linking information.
It's hard to believe it's the end of November, what with this nice, sunny, mid 50's weather. I know, I know, as soon as I say that we are going to get a foot of snow. Bring it on. I got a warm house and lots of broccoli. And a dad who shovels a path for me in the backyard. Am I lucky or what!
It is supposed to be 57 degrees today and mostly sunny. The normal high for today is 44 degrees. Anyone up for a sunny Sunday pug pile?
We are supposed to have record highs today, and lots of sun. For the last weekend in November, I am not complaining!
Mom is mupsy. She is fighting a cold, and losing, and because she's sick she doesn't want to see Little Ninja and give it to him. She's worried about Little Ninja's mom, who had surgery for two herniated discs, and she's worried about a whole bunch of things, not the least of which is raising enough money for PlusOne to go on his grand adventure with People to People.
Now this is my idea of how to spend a Sunday morning. Heck, maybe even every morning. lol
She is sleeping beneath PlusOne's chair, waiting for him to return from karate. Silly girl.
I am not sure why mom and PlusOne are excited over this get-up, but they are. I don't think that bodes well for me.
