Aunts & Uncles are for Spoiling

Tonight was Christmas Eve, and Dad's family came to visit.  Mom made this big meal called The Feast of the Seven Fishes.  I'm not sure why it's called that, because she actually made ten different kinds of fish.  All I know is, the kitchen smelled great all day long.

My Aunt Cathy and Uncle Angelo came to visit, along with Grandma Mary.   I remembered them all from their previous visits, and gave them a warm welcome.  I had never met Aunt LouAnn and Uncle Bobby before, so I growled a bit when they first came in. I tried and tried to have a sniff underneath Aunt LouAnn's skirt, but Mom kept stopping me and saying it was "rude."  Honestly...I was just trying to get to know her a little better. 

After a while, I realized that they were family, so I let them stay.   That's when the real fun started!  When Mom wasn't looking, Uncle Angelo and Aunt LouAnn kept sneaking me food!! They're SO bad!!!  

I love them.

I had imported Italian breadsticks, calamari, cheese, and even a little lobster.   I can't really say whether or not they tasted good because I ate them so fast I didn't bother chewing them.  

I also got to have another one of those frozen beef bones, with the delicious marrow inside. They truly are my favorite snack.

It's getting late now, and Mom says I need to get to bed so that Santa can come.  I can't wait to see what he brings me!
