We opened our family gifts on Christmas Eve at midnight. Bryce was fascinated with the whole thing!
This wasn't exactly what Maddy had in mind when she checked "no personalization" for Mike's shirt but he thought it was perfect:)
Maddy had a number of surprises - she loved her new polaroid camera...
For her big surprise I had found the names of the original owners of Bryce and Juneau from vet records and secretly reached out to ask them for some background information (ages, breed, birthdays etc) to help with their medical care. I also asked for some photos from their puppyhood and was able to put together a beautiful album for Maddy of over 50 photos! They were so cute as babies!
Maddy was blown away - and it solved so many mysteries as to why they are so different and helps us understand where they have come from. It got her right in "the feels":)
On Christmas Day morning it was all about the dogs getting their gifts and they were thrilled:)
In the afternoon the family arrived...
We had a lovely party and 4 Rivers did an awesome job as usual!
Happy Christmas to you all - now to start packing:)
