This Year's Christmas

Bella and Joey "racing" on the scooter.

Joey's in the parade!!!!

My favorite character, Pluto, waved at me during the parade. I think he knew that I love dogs! ;-) I even found my name on the Santa's list on one of the parade floats. I know! I was shocked too. It was spelled perfectly: K.C. Too bad I couldn't get a photo.

Belle and I got to meet up with Cruella De Vil. She called Belle her Christmas present. Now Belle is CERTAINLY soft enough to be a coat but I'm not ready to give her up yet. Anyone who has petted her knows how soft she is. She signed my map too.

On Christmas day the puppies opened their toys. This was both Belle and Genevieve's first Christmas with me. 

They got way too many toys. Vieve got 3 stuffies and Belle got 4. They also got shampoo and some new treats. 

Belle wished for a husband for me and a daddy for her. LOL. Sorry, I couldn't resist. 

The highlight of MY trip was getting to meet Billy Bass or John Marshall. He's the one on the left. He is BY FAR my favorite Billy and was thrilled to meet him. He is so funny but quite funny not obnoxious funny. I even got him to sign my map. I was so excited. I told him he was my favorite but I don't think he believed me. 

The highlight of Belle's trip was "her balcony". She loved going and sitting out there. She's a funny little dog.

Diva's trip highlight was under the bed, she loved crawling around under the bed. She's a nut job. 

The family and I went to Ariel's Grotto to eat one night. The food was fabulous (everyone had tri-tip). They had an excellent bread basket and pesto. I also got more signatures for my map. 

The cutest story was of Robbie's encounter with Cinderella at Goofy's Kitchen. Let me narrate for you. I would have video-ed it if I had known it was going to be SOOO cute.

Cinderella wanders to the table, instantly zeroing on the cute little blonde. Prince Robbie gives Cinderella his most heart melting smile with those baby-blues working overtime. She of course melts instantly. He introduces himself as Robert. 

Cinderella notices how little Prince Robbie is eating and proceeds to ask him to eat a little more. He mulls over the idea. She pleads with him, promising him extra sprinkles on his ice cream. He gives her what I call his "beaten puppy look". He pretends to be shy. 

"Well, just for you Cinderella." He licks a bit of the broccoli, a bite of pizza, and a tiny shrimp. They speak for a little while longer about important topics, like the value of cake versus ice cream.

It's really hard to take pictures of toddlers but I tried! Featured are the Grant, Garret, Gregory, Joe, and I think that's Robbie in the back.
