Well, Christmas is finally over. The decorations are all put away and the leftovers all eaten (well, almost all eaten). The month between Thanksgiving and the end of the year felt endless and yet whipped by blazingly fast. On the home front we had a new Christmas tree this year. It is pre-lit with white lights. That is a big change for us from our previous tree with its multicolored lights. All of a sudden all of our ornaments all seem monochrome! Oddly enough, even though the tree is slimmer than our previous tree, we still hung just as many ornaments on it.
I discovered this week that it is super easy to upload videos from my phone to YouTube and they don't have to be public. So I went a little crazy the other morning and uploaded five videos, most of which will not interest anyone else. However, here is one of Lucy in action, for those of you who have never seen her work it. Keep in mind that she is chewing a solid hard rubber ball in this video.
