WELL, as you can imagine Mr. Primo Allesandro is having a field day harassing my christmas decorations. Although he hasn't officially torn anything apart....he has TRIED...AND TRIED.
but luckily, I'm quick on my feet.

WELL IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE WRITTEN IN TO THE BLOG.
BUSY AS A BEE W/THE HOLIDAY SEASONS.
THANKSGIVING WAS WONDERFUL AS MOM AND DAD CAME UP TO SPEND 10 DAYS WITH US. IT WAS A TRUE BLAST..AND MY MAIN CONCERN WAS THAT THEY ENJOYED













THEMSELVES AND GET PLENTY OF REST.....IN WHICH THEY DID.THE HOUSE WAS CONSTANTLY BUSY W-COOKING IN THE KITCHEN, CARS BREAKING DOWN, PRIMO TRYING TO TAKE OVER-JUMPING ON EVERYONE, WORK SCHEDULES, SHOPPING...AND ALL THE NECESSARY HOLIDAY "CHAOS"....BUT IT WAS A GOOD CHAOS. THERE WERE PLENTY OF LAUGHS AND GOOD SMELLS IN THE HOUSE AND
ON THANKSGIVING DAY WE HAD 15 IN OUR HOME...WHICH CONSISTED OF FAMILY!!!!

mom, dad, in-laws, brothers, sister in law, Primo, me/ernie, nephews, niece and Pinky and Arnold stopped by for dinner... it was great!!!!!!!!!!
On Thanksgiving day, Primo was beside himself...as not only was it HIS first holiday season/event...but it was the first time since he's been here where it was this many people in the house ALL AT ONCE. He was tooooo thriLLED. He's really good about not peeing in the house anymore. we have no problem w/that...but on that day when everyone arrived (mostly at once)...he was jumping, walking...and "Sprinkling". it was tooooooo funny. We were like I guessed he's alloweD. ----- I rigged my office as his 'hangout' w/his kennel and blanket/pillows... so, we could have more walk around room in the kitchen which is where he primarily sleeps.-----As we all gathered around the table for prayer....and Primo was behind his baby gate off in the kitchen....he didn't bark, he didn't jumped...he laid down and waited for us to finish... It was hilarious.

DINNER:
sweet potatoes-ham-turkey-fresh cranberry relish---fresh salad--fruit punch, Ice Tea---Jumbalaya---green beans---potatoe salad----2 stuffings (one w/oysters, one w/out)homemade rolls.....sweet potatoe pies---pumpkin pies---apple pie.
