Corn Flakes: A Farm, a Puppy, and a Skateboard

My boys and I always spend Christmas at my parents’ house and my husband joins us when he doesn’t have to work. This year we brought our puppy (much to my dad’s fake dismay). He was in heaven. So many new smells, so much space to explore, and so much more snow than he has ever seen. It was glorious and he didn’t poop or pee in the house, so he is welcome back.

Also, my youngest son go a skateboard from Santa. He was so excited. The problem with a skateboard at Christmas is that the only place to try out your skateboard is inside and there are obstacles. Luckily my parent’s didn’t seem too upset with their dented trashcan and slight indentations in the wall.

I hope you all had a great Christmas.

Now here are your flakes.
