Here in the Chicago area, wintertime is long and cold. We have to stay inside a lot more and it gets BORING for Brighton and Snowdon. We get up early in the morning and take a quick walk around the block, sometimes when it is still dark outside as days are shorter in winter. Then…

Every year since I have been born, Doc and Pops have sent out a Christmas card with a picture of me! Everyone tells them how much they like my picture! Then the last two years, it was Snowdon and me with more super cute photos. This year the Christmas card had a photo of Snowdon…
