The Baddogs Do Christmas

I tried for too long to get Jack and Coco to pose. Jack *adores* having his picture taking! He will actually pose for the camera. (Jack actually did a bit of modeling a year or so ago.) Coco, dear thing, is not the most photogenic little creature. Jack get jealous when I tried to stick a Santa hat on Coco, and kept snatching it off. The boy is clearing laughing at me:

I took this after about 45 minutes of fighting with Jack to stop eating the Santa hat:

A change of wardrobe: Coco in her Mrs. Claus outfit. And Jack trying to eat his antlers:

I love this photo.

Tip/trick/lesson of the day: Many people travel more during the holiday season. Now is a great time to make sure your vehicle is in good shape for winter driving. Always keep de-icer, an ice scraper, and a child-size shovel in your car. Check your fluids, tires, and lights before heading out. Consider taking a course on how to handle your vehicle on black ice. Keep an especially vigilant watch for drunk drivers on the road, and try to avoid driving at night if at all possible. If you spot a drunk driver, keep a safe distance *behind* the driver.

Also, if you did not do so at Daylight Savings, check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!
