Magi, Grant and Keri's Welsh Corgi, pictured on the right in the center picture, was 2 years old, so they had a dog birthday party on Sunday. I believe this is really an owner party, but you didn't get invited unless you had a dog. There were 5 dogs, and I was lucky to get a 4-dog picture. Their backyard is very large and the dogs had lots of room to spread out. The big brown lab, Mya, is only 7 months old and was the silliest dog there. Our dog, Mojo, wasn't too sure about her at first but eventually came out from Bill's protection because he did have the most mojo at the party. Magi was definitely the best ball catcher. The Yorkie, Abby, was the smallest and had some of the best agility moves. Lilah, the black dog, couldn't figure out her best of category, so unfortunately won best growler and fang bearer at the other dogs.
Oh yeah, Mojo also won in the only male category, not that he knew it.

Bill and I had a wonderful time with Dave and Erin at Erin's parents, Roger and Muriel Pfaff, in Marietta, GA. We drove down on Sunday and spent 2 nights at a Drury Inns & Suites, but ate all our meals (except the free breakfast at the motel) with the Pfaff's. Erin has one sister, Alison, and her boyfriend, Mike, were also in attendance. Mike is a med student at MCV, where Bill's brother Jim went (a few year's ago!).
We got hooked on dominoes, which we played when we weren't eating one of Murierl's wonderful meals. Of course, when we played we ate homemade cookies and candy, made by Erin and her mom. Dinner Sunday night was a wonderful chicken dish over pasta; Christmas Eve was 2 kinds of hearty homemade soups and homemade rolls; and Christmas dinner was prime rib. Wow! Were we impressed. Best thing to me: sticky pecan rolls at Christmas breakfast. Super yum.
On Christmas Eve we went to a candlelight service at 11:00 p.m. at the Pfaff's Lutheran church. It felt very similar to our Methodist candlelight service. I think the big Christmas present was something called a Wee, an interactive games thingy played on your TV. Like all playstation things, it's beyond me.
