Christmas in PA

J.R.'s Aunt Susan and Roger came to visit us last weekend for an early Christmas. We had fun eating out, watching movies and playing with remote control helicopters??


What can I say? I think Roger and J.R. paid more attention to these bad boys than anything else over the weekend! Poor Max figured out early on that these were not toys he wanted anything to do with, so as soon as he heard the slightest whistle of the wings, he was huddled up in a corner with a terrified look on his puppy face.

Though I have no pictures, I must mention the fun J.R. and I had at his office Christmas party! The party landed smack in the middle of Aunt Susan and Roger's visit, so they decided to drive to Ohio and visit some of their friends while we dressed up and went out for the evening. We have been to three company Christmas parties now, and this one, held at the Heinz History Center, was by far the most fun! Each year a silent auction is set up with proceeds going to a good cause. This year they added a little bit of Vegas to the mix with Casino tables:). We bought chips and won tickets that we could enter into giveaways. Vendors had donated iPads (which we didn't win:( ), a $500 giftcard to Lowes (which our friends did win:)!), etc. I haven't ever gambled before, but I imagine it's a lot more fun when you can laugh at how much you are losing, knowing that it is all for the better good, ha! About $30,000 was raised for Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh that night. Oh, and did I mention there was dancing this time too? Maybe next year I can actually drag J.R. out onto the floor with me! Great night!

Sunday night, we opened gifts and had a good laugh watching our "child" excitedly open his package of "poopie bags"!




Nothing is more entertaining than watching dogs with wrapping paper...



Excuse the bad photography and poor lighting in these next pictures, but I had to add some of these:)

Beautiful ornaments they gave us!
Thanks Susan and Roger for a great weekend!
