Thanksgiving with Beacon

Beacon is just one of the many things I am thankful for this year.  Emily, home from South Carolina, and Jenny, home from college, finally met the new puppy I have been bragging about - and they both fell in love.  The odd thing is that Emily, who has been allergic to dogs since birth,  would break out in hives when she pet Honey, but, so far, has not had the same experience with Beacon.  That alone made Thanksgiving wonderful.  Amidst the hustle and bustle of preparing for a big Thanksgiving dinner, what did Beacon do?  He slept...

and garbage can.  Thanksgiving dinner
is being prepared.  Jenny is washing dishes
spread legged over Beacon.

Beacon, still sleeping in front of the
garbage can, does not stir as we
try to stuff more trash into
 the garbage can.

and how we had to work around
him to cook dinner.

After dinner, it was time for our family picture.

We are kind of stacked
like a pyramid.
Scotty and I are in the back,
the 4 girls sitting on the
couch in front of us.  The
2 boys are sitting on the floor.

 Maybe next year we will remember to dress more nicely for our picture!
