LOOK WHAT SANTA GOT ME! A PUPPY!!!

So, we had researched, and researched for months and it was just days before Christmas and we still hadn't found the right puppy. Then, one night, on a website from here in Texas, there she was...Snowy. She was an F3 Labradoodle pup who was 12 weeks old. She was from Beaumont, TX. The breeder said she'd meet us halfway and so we drove in the cold and very wet weather to Center, TX, three hours from home on 12/23, spent the night in a hotel and then met the breeder in the morning on 12/24. We drove back another 3 hours home and we had become dog owners! Just like that.

She didn't really think we were going to get a REAL puppy!


We bought books and supplies to make sure we were ready for what Santa had in store!

And then, we met her for the first time...she squealed and laughed in the car in disbelief! We can take it home? Abigail's puppy? she would say! It was way too cute. We had seen her pictures about a dozen of them prior to purchasing so when we saw her, we knew exactly who she was. We thought Oreo would be a great name for her (Oree) would be her nickname. Abigal loved it and well it fit our family well since we just all LOVE Oreos!


They played together constantly!! See Tug of War video clip below and playing on the slide video too!

A Sample of Christmas Masterpieces, by Abigail Wolf

She has A LOT of fun with crafts at school...she loves, loves, loves arts and crafts. I started buying some small projects to do at home too! These all came from school throughout the month of December! Just a few here of my favorites!


Her handprint was a Santa...too cute and they dressed in red one day and took photos in front of the tree at school as a group and then individually!


Her cute little stocking! She loves gluing the small pieces of paper!


THIS WAS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE...THE SNOWMAN. SHE LOVED IT TOO!! She carried it around all over the house so I permanently displayed it in the kitchen for the whole month.
