They tried to sit still -- but the excitement of Christmas morning (mom and dad stay home today!) was almost too much for them. Hope your Christmas is just as exciting.

They are being so good, all sitting still at the same time...my big dogs will do this, but the Little Dog (LD for short, has dual meaning) is a weak link, bouncing up and down in the middle of it all. If I want a group photo I'll have to hold her to keep her still!
