Liveblogging Thanksgiving 2012 Edition

Hi, Liveblogging TG is back by popular demand!!!!!
0700 
Baby Celery Mozart is in the background (as always)
ARGH!!!!It is not letting us upload the pictures of my cuteness!!!!
I have been begging, Baby Celery has been smiling and Owl is out running which makes me very sad. Hope we can work out the picture prob!
0815
My breakfast is behind schedule. This is not acceptable peeps! Well, in other news the piecrust is being rolled out for cranberry meringue pie, the tablecloth is going to be ironed and Baby Celery is screeching like a girl. The bird is supposed to hit the oven at 9 am. Will they make it on time? Stay tuned for the next thrilling update.
1001
Just got back from walking Baby Celery. We had a slight disagreement about which way to go on the way back so I took Tigger through the woods and Daddy and Squawky Puppy went back by the road. Food updates: Breakfast was good. The turkey made it into the oven at 9:45 am. The cranberry meringue pie is done. Baby Celery was hungry and screeching like a girl after our walk and is now drinking his milk.
1136
Something awful has happened. Wol and Tigger had the nerve to pull out the scary monster and vacuum. Can you believe it?! They even wanted to vacuum up all of my lovely fur that I was using to decorate the rugs! I hate to say it, but I think my humans lack taste at times. On the bright side, the turkey is smelling delicious and the stuffing is ready. The only things left to do are bake the yummy rolls (I LOVE bread products) and cook up the green beans. Squawky Puppy had another snack and story time, and now he's napping on his Mama. Can't wait to eat!!!

1225
Tigger jumping in to give an update. The BMD just did NOT win the working group at the National Dog Show. Rosie will be crushed when she gets back from another walk with the Baby Celery. You can watch the BMD here.
1234
Rosie here again. Back from the walk. The BMDs have been ROBBED of the working group win!!!!! It ought to be clear to anyone that we're deserving of best in show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to go sulk on my bed...

1238
A happier update : The turkey smells AMAZING! The tables are being set. Squawky Puppy is snoozing and the sun is shining. We BMDs find it hard to be in the dumps for long. Most of the time.
1246
GRAMS IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
1445
All except Aunt J-Dog are here. Turkey is out and getting ready to be hacked into. Some of the peeps went on a walk to the pond.

1638
Wow!  A lot has happened in the last few hours.  Auntie J finally made it after 4 hours in the car.  I didn't have time to update that because it was time to eat right after she arrived.  All the humans had a very nice meal, then I went out with cousin R, Roo, Tigger and Auntie J fora rousing round of soccer and stick.  Then, Oh Joyful Day, it was time for MY dinner!!!!  I had chicken (I'm allergic to turkey), sweet potatoes, stuffing, corn pudding, jello salad, cranberries, rolls and green beans.  I had a leisurely meal, taking a full 45 seconds to eat it all up.  Now we're all having quiet time in the play room before dessert - evidently there is no chocolate on the dessert menu, so I'm really looking forward to dessert (dinner was a full 10 minutes ago).

1719
Soporific Time!  I'm curled up on my bed for a rest, and Uncle L is out cold in the chair.  The rest of the family is getting ready to look at old family slides from Grams' collection.  Evidently I am not in these.

1811
Gettin hungry for dessert...

The slides have been lots of fun so far.  Tigger is loading up some more to watch.

I hope all my readers are having a wonderful time with your families.


1829
I'm watching the slides and I have to say that Kanga was a very cute little girl.  I'm not sure why nobody in the pictures looks like me, though.  Oh, there's Kanga riding a horse.

1933
Oh My, I Love Pie!  I had a small slice each of pumpkin, cranberry meringue and apple pie.  Life is gooood!  I'm not sure which is best - I'll have to sample them again : )

2023

The southern contingent left about 20 minutes ago. Grams and Aunt J are still here. Auntie J is staying the night! SLUMBER PARTY!!!!!!!!


2026
Forgot to add in the last update. Tigger, Roo, and Cousin R went outside and were playing bunyup in the dark when a state trooper drove by. He slowed WAAAAAAAAAy down when he saw some kids running around in the dark with sheets and flashlights!

WWFN, ROSIE

Sleeping Beauties

Tigger here. I got some cute shots of Rosie and nephew both pooped out in the near each other tonight. Rosie was on her bed and Baby Celery in his stroller.

Family portrait

What a fun day I had today! Uncle L., and the associated cousins decided to come for a visit today to see me and oh yes, see Baby Celery.

We had lots of fun looking at slides of Kanga and co. as kidlets and hearing about the adventures of the cousins involving smokeless powder. Anyway, the very talented cousin L. made this for the Celeries. Check it out!

The whole family!

What a handsome dog with her favorite nephew!

Random Chip- I mean Cuteness- Infusion

Here are some awfully adorable (IMHO) pictures that Tigger got of Baby C and I this morning.

NOoooo, it's the baby-razzi!!!!!!

 

 

 

Tired baby and faithful guard dog

Who knows why I'm imitating this dude right now?

Here are some hints:

Not that Baby Celery looks overly sure of Mr. Celery here, but... 

Do you need some time to think about it?

YEP!!!!!!!! THE CELERIES ARE COMING ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOO, SOOO EXCITED TO MEET MY NEPHEW!!!!!!!! (WELL, AND TO SEE THE ADULT CELERIES AS WELL. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!! <3<3<3<3 ;) )

Gotta go get ready for them!

Lots of love to all of you!

Better rest up today...

You see, Kanga and Owl are coming home today. Oh, you didn't know they were away? Well, they were gone for a week visiting the Celeries* and left me in charge. At least that's what I say. There have been conflicting opinions on that...

* That would be why we have been receiving vaguely close to adequate photo coverage of Baby Celery.

Anyway, this pooch misses her parents and needs to rest up so she can jump all over them and let them know how much she missed them. (Seriously, Rosie gets lonesome for them when they're at work all day, so how's she's managed to put up with both of them being gone for a week is beyond me- Tigger)

One of the most comfortable napping positions!

Making my sad "I miss you" eyes.

Off to go eat breakfast and then take a nap!

As many of you....

.... as have been... 

...Baptized into Christ....

...have put on Christ...

...Alleluia!

Baby Celery was  baptized today! God grant him many years!

Love,

(a very proud) Auntie Rosie 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Two years ago today, this happened:                                     

HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY, POOH AND DR. CELERY!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY BEEN TWO YEARS!

*sings*

God grant you many years,

God grant you many years,

God grant you many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many* years!

*Repeat "many, many" ad nauseum.

We all love you lots!

Woofs, wags, and kisses,

xoxooxoxoxox,

ROSIE!!!!!!!!! <3
