🎄 A Christmas Summary

As Christmas draws near, the backyard has turned into a place of wonder.
What started with Shady and Gary relaxin’ under the string lights has grown into a full-blown Christmas journey — complete with a camel trio, a nervous turkey, musical armadillos, and bubbles floatin’ through the air showin’ scenes from the very first Christmas.

Each night, the Christmas Star shines a little brighter.
Each day, a new companion joins the path — a Wise Man, a shepherd, an angel — all driftin’ closer to the Nativity, where hope first entered the world.

Shady watches it all with her no-tail wiggle and big bright eyes, somehow understandin’ the meaning behind the magic. Gary just smiles, grateful to be part of the story that’s been told for over two thousand years.

Christmas isn’t just about the gifts stackin’ up under the tree —
it’s about the Light that came into the world,
the joy we share,
and the unlikely friends who walk with us along the way.

And this year, the whole crew is ready to celebrate the birth of Christ together —
with music, laughter, peace, and a whole lot of wonder.

🎁 Tuesday, Dec. 2 — The Countdown Begins!

Well folks, it’s only December 2nd and Shady’s already wigglin’ like she sniffed out somethin’ special under that tree.

This morning we found the first Christmas present of the season — wrapped up all fancy with a tag that reads:

🎁 “To: Shady”

Shady has no idea what's in it, but she’s been circling that tree like a tiny, excited reindeer. Meanwhile, Gary’s enjoyin’ his coffee, pretendin’ he doesn’t see the camel inchin’ closer to the gift pile.

One present down… many more to come.
Let the countdown to Christmas 2025 begin!

Sounds like a "miracle" to me.😊

🎄✨ Monday, Dec. 1 — Kicking Off the Christmas Countdown!

Well, folks… we made it.
It’s December 1st, and around here that means one thing:
we’re shiftin’ gears straight into Christmas mode.

Shady was up before sunrise, wigglin’ so hard she almost launched herself into the tree skirt. No tail, all excitement. That girl loves December more than biscuits.

The camel?
He’s already wearin’ a Santa hat that’s two sizes too small and tryin’ to blend in with the decorations — badly. I swear he thinks he’s invisible if he stands real still next to the wreath.

The turkey popped back in this morning too…
He says he’s “only here for the pie,” but the way he keeps side-eyeing the Christmas ham tells me he’s still nervous.

And the Armadillo Band?
They’re officially in full Christmas playlist mode — tiny Santa hats, tiny instruments, big holiday energy.

It’s a new month, a new Monday, and the start of one of the best seasons of the year.
Time to string the lights, pour the cocoa, and lean into the Christmas chaos.

25 days to go. Let’s make ‘em merry! 🎅🏼🌟🎁

🎄✨ Sunday, Nov. 30 — Wrappin’ Up November

Well folks… here we are.
The last day of November.
Feels like we packed a whole year’s worth of excitement into these thirty days — camels in disguises, nervous turkeys, birthday shenanigans, Black Friday chaos, and now Christmas bubbles floatin’ around the backyard.

Shady’s sittin’ beside me this mornin’, lookin’ proud and alert — like she’s already signed herself up as captain of the December patrol. No tail, all business, full wiggle.

The camel is off somewhere “helpin’” with decorations… which means I’ll probably find tinsel tangled in the fence later.
The turkey is still layin’ low after Thanksgiving week — can’t blame him.
And the Armadillo Band has officially switched to Christmas music. Tiny boots tappin’, tiny hats on straight, instruments tuned for holiday mischief.

If November was this wild, I can’t even imagine what December’s got in store for us. But one thing’s for sure — this little crew is ready for it.

Here’s to wrappin’ up one adventure-filled month and headin’ straight into the next.
See y’all in December! 🎄🐾✨

🎄🔍 Saturday, Nov. 29 — The Holiday Hunt Begins!

Well folks… Thanksgiving may be over, but the hunt sure ain’t.
And between now and Christmas?
Who knows who — or WHAT — might show up.

Shady’s already on high alert, tail or no tail, sniffin’ every corner like she expects the camel to pop out wearin’ Christmas lights.
The turkey’s still jumpy… and for good reason.
The camels?
Plural now…? Someone said they saw two of ’em behind the outlet stores, but that might’ve been the pie talking.

And the Armadillo Band?
They’re dusting off their little Santa hats and tunin’ up for whatever chaos December’s gonna bring.

One thing’s for sure:
If you thought November was wild…
December’s about to write its own legend.

🎁 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GARY!! 🎁

The whole crew’s been buildin’ up to this — and they’re ready to celebrate their favorite cowboy.

Thank you for lettin’ us laugh our way through the countdown — now it’s time to party Texas-style:
Warm sunshine, good friends, bluegrass music, and Shady right by your side.

Here’s to YOU, Gary —
Wishing you joy, laughter, and a whole heap of blessings today and always. ❤️🐾

🎉🐾 Saturday, Nov. 22 — Shenanigans Everywhere!

Well, gang… here we are.
Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 — and let me tell you, these last few days have been FULL of shenanigans.

Shady’s been wigglin’ around like she’s hidin’ state secrets, the camel’s struttin’ in a new disguise every morning (today he tried a fedora AND a fake mustache), and the Armadillo Band is playin’ bluegrass so loud they probably woke the entire county.

And that turkey?
Bless his jittery little heart — he’s been pacing around like he knows two countdowns are happening next week: one for Gary’s birthday, and one for Thanksgiving. 😅🦃

Everywhere you look there’s another wrapped gift, another goofy grin, and another one of these critters pretendin’ they’re not up to somethin’.
But we all know better.

It’s Saturday, the sun is bright, spirits are high, and the surprises just keep rollin’ in.
3 days left ‘til the big birthday… and the mischief is officially at an all-time high! 🎉
