Lulu's Christmas


I have Jann of Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson to thank for my relaxing week.


She put me first on the schedule for the Creating Christmas Link Party


which meant I had to be finished decorating by Sunday.


That left me free to simply enjoy Christmas.


Lulu has been enjoying Christmas


 and she particularly likes my Maileg pixies.


This is Lulu last Christmas with Henry.


She and Olaf are great friends


and Lulu enjoys rearranging Olaf on the sofa.


All the decorating tires her out


and she needs to take frequent breaks.


My Maileg Santa sits on a bench in the guest room and Lulu has never shown any interest in him.


This is the scene that greeted me when I came home this afternoon -


Obviously Steve had replaced Santa in his spot hoping that I might not notice his beard.


I actually think the new look is kind of fun, but I did move Santa off the bench.


Lulu definitely loves this time of year and wishes you a Merry Christmas.

  2. Lulu is such a cutie, and has Steve as an ally. :) You just think Lulu has never shown any interest in Santa before.

    She surely loves your elves and has great "style" in her rearranging!!!!!!!

    Carol, you are so fun. Another year of blogging and Instagram with you has inspired me and made me hope to one day cross paths with you. Enjoy the countdown!

  13. Good Afternoon Carol, I think we have all fallen in love with Lulu.... she is gorgeous.
    I loved the final photograph... it looked as if Lulu had just decided to pop her head up to see what was going on.
    Your home is decorated in all the colours I love.... red and green, for me are the perfect Christmas colours.
    Happy Christmas to you.
    Best Wishes

  14. That Lulu is darling and she is such a good dog. I love all the photo's of her.

    Your home looks terrific, so welcoming.

    Waldo and Lili send regards to Lulu - they are taking their after breakfast nap and won't go out due to the rain. LOL

    Have a great weekend - I am loving all this rain and I wish it would rain all day.

  19. I love the way the red always pops in your house, Carol, each and every season but even more so at Christmas. Such cute decorations and getting it done early gives you time to tweak (or add to).

    Love your Lulu! She's a fantastic helper!

  20. Lulu is so adorable! I'm sure she thought she was just being friendly. '-)
    Your photos of her remind me of our Sadie. She takes her toys to her bed and sleeps with them under a paw or her head.
    I stopped by a local shop today that was having their annual Christmas sale. They had the Maileg Princes and the Pea Mouse in her castle and the Prince Mouse too. I decided they should come home with me for my great nieces. I figured I should start the Maileg habit here too. '-) Now to find one of those adorable pixies.
