The lovely Christmas tree, hung with mostly homemade ornaments...
Felicia made me sit on the presents under the tree...
India, wearing her new Christmas coat given to her by Rocky, holding Dolce...
Now she'll never want to move back home again! She is happy to meet Dolce, wearing her Christmas ribbon, for the first time. Here's to Christmas and Giving and Family! Love, Maia
Here's Dolce...just released from her cage.
She wants to play with me. 
But my idea of playing is not to get jumped on by a pot-bellied Pom puppy!
I react calmly, letting Dolce know I'm not in the mood to play right now.
Sacha sits on Michael's lap, watching the situation with interest. 
Dolce gives up and finds someone who WILL play with her! 'appy 'appy 'appy!! Life is good!
Felicia starts out her day with a cup of Christmas cheer...no, not that...just coffee! She loves her morning cup of coffee and looks forward to enjoying her cuppa while reading the day's news (Madoff, anyone?) on her Mac. And every Christmas she brings out her "Happy Holidays" Grenadiers mugs!
But it's been almost four days of snow and Felicia is sore from all the shoveling! Dolce doesn't mind so much. She's got a coat of fur...that's not quite as thick as it was when she was twelve weeks old! She's molting her baby fur and looks a bit scraggly at times! Yorkies never go through scraggly phases. Poor Dolce. She can't help it that she's a Pomeranian. I'm sure her fur will grow back. Someday.
Peaches and I wander down the driveway in the heavy snow.
I decide to go back into the garage, where Michael has brought India's car to scrape two feet of snow off of it, so he can drive it to a friend's house. Michael is home for Christmas and we are all so glad to see him!
Meanwhile, it's perfect weather for spaghetti. Felicia cooks up a some sauce on the stove.
Nothing like a bubbling cauldron of simmering sauce waiting for us while we go outside and shovel the latest few inches of snow from the front walk!
BROOKE IS BACK!!
Dolce's Godmother came to meet Dolce!
Brooke is a traveling gal, so up until now, she's missed the opportunity to make Dolce's acquaintance!
But she made a special trip home, just to meet her newest special friend!
Even though she used to call Peaches "the rat," she's decided that distance makes the heart grow fonder...
And now she even loves Crack Baby (Sacha) and The Rat (Peaches).
Dolce is especially fond of Brooke, because without Brooke's "green light," telling Felicia to get Dolce, Dolce might not be a member of the family right now! So we all love Brooke too.
PS We also all loved Brooke's engagement ring, from Mr. T, as well! Gorgeous ring for a gorgeous couple! Congratulations Brooke and Christopher!
Michigan was hit with an all-night/all-day blizzard....
None of us wanted to even go outside to do our business.
Dolce wonders why Felicia won't just let her in the house.
She just stands there, camouflaged in the snow, looking forlorn.
Ah. Back in the warm house, snacking on a piece of raisin toast.
She races after Max, barely able to traverse the deep snow.
It's fun to be outside, playing with Max, protected by her thick fur!
But after a while, Miss Dolce wants to go back into the house.
She waits for Max to follow her in.
And finally, Felicia takes pity on La Bear(re), who can't yet climb steps, and brings her into the house. Fun in the snow for Miss Dolce!
