Yep -- we got a dog! Noel is the newest addition to our family. She was the last gift given to the kids this morning and I managed to pull off the surprise. Collin was the only one who was REALLY excited. He was so overcome with emotion when I told him that we were keeping her forever that he started sobbing. It was too sweet. Dylan was excited, but not overly so. Alana could have cared less. She wanted to get back to her toys. I think she touched Noel once very briefly and hasn't even glanced at her since. At least Collin was happy! Noel was rescued from a puppy mill and is still pretty scared, but she is extremely tolerant even as she shakes in fear. It will take her a little while to get used to everything, but she is already a little momma's girl. She followed me around the house all morning. She doesn't like it when I get too far out of her sight!
We had a really great Christmas today. It was so wonderful to get together with our family. I tried to prepare as much as possible in advance and that definitely helped to make today less stressful. Great company and yummy food. I hope everyone's day was as blessed as ours!
