Since Mom had a busy day already, visiting her Mom in rehab and feeding the horses she needed some nourishment before starting the festivities. Sam was most dismayed by the delay.
It's Christmas, Mom!
Monty on the other paw, has a unique way to beg. He knows we know he is there, so he is not concerned he will be missed if any crumbs happen to be passed around...
Monty didn't quite understand how to open the presents, but I did realize I made a major mistake this year. No more shiny paper for Monty! He spent most of his morning chasing the reflections from the paper on the wall.
Although, he also seemed to be pleased by our choices of squeaker filled toys!
Sam seemed pleased that he got to open every one's presents, not just his own!
We all had a good Christmas and hope all of you did too! Monty definitely seems happy with his first Christmas with us!
Looks like everyone had a great Christmas (and Sam. Ruby approves of that position at the dinner table. it is her selection too).
ReplyDeleteSanta didn't wrap the presents this year so our girls didn't get to tear any paper. They did make quick work of the stuffed toys though.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Looks like it was a jolly time for all :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to yaz!

I am glad Monty had a good first Christmas. That's pretty funny about him chasing his reflection in the shiny wrapping paper.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
I like that Monty was chasing the reflections, now that's a good retriever!! And thank goodness that Sam helped in unwrapping everyone's presents, who knows if it would have gotten done without him there!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Merry Christmas!!
Looks like Monty had a great first Christmas! I'm sure Sam showed him all the ropes.

ReplyDeleteMonty, Sam and the people... I hope you had a great Christmas and I hope your New Year is blessed too! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a terrific Christmas. We're sure Monty enjoyed it very much. We're glad to read your grandma is on the mend. We hope she'll get out of the rehab hospital soon and come stay with you for a nice, long recuperation and cookie-sneaking period.
