Barley's First Christmas

Ok, so it technically wasn't Barley's first Christmas, but it was her first one with us (this time last year, she was with some evil person who I'm assuming did not get her a stocking).

Anywho, I think Barley truly enjoyed her first Christmas. She got her very own stocking filled with treats and toys. She also got a new toy from her cousin Petunia that she loves a lot. Check out our girl enjoying her gifts on Christmas Day (sorry for the quality of the pictures - we were using our phones)!

My nephew loves Snoopy so I was glad to see him top the list. Also glad (and pleasantly surprised) that Brian from Family Guy made an appearance as well.
