Baby Journey with Santa Lisa - 2010
Lisa is just the best Santa ever! Besides, my boys love her. She is one of our agility friends and so they are not the slightest bit afraid of her. Last year and this year she will not be Santa, as she she has an injury to her arm and also to a nerve in her neck. We sure miss her and hope she will be recovering soon.
The stand-in Santa managed to pose with them, but was careful not to touch them. Very different from Lisa's Santa manners. She is a very hands-on Santa.

Spirit - 2010 I love this picture. I can see all the wonder of Christmas in his face. He was always patient, but he waited with happy expectation for each part of the celebration.
Spirit loved Christmas. He remembered almost everything about it from year to year: visiting Santa Lisa, the tree, the decorations, the present wrapping, and then best of all, the unwrapping. It all worked out so well. New Years Eve was his birthday, so we saved some of the presents to enjoy at his New Years Eve party. I miss him so much.
