When Stella Met Santa…

One of the things I've been wanting to do all season is take Stella for a photo with Santa.  This is Stella's first Christmas (even though she was around last Christmas, she wasn't old enough to be ours yet and I'm positive she didn't celebrate like she is this year) and for now she's our littlest family member and we treat her as a child - only the best for the pups, right?!

We finally got ourselves together on Monday night and ran out for her to meet the big man.  (He isn't my favorite Santa in the area but we were short on time and I love the pictures so all worked out) Stella's face might not show it but she loved Santa and made herself quite at home on his lap.  The flash for the camera wasn't working so she ended up being up there for a while and really made herself at home - we were cracking up!


I was planning on being done with gift guides {I previously did a gift guide for the puppy lover found here} but I couldn't help but share some of my recent find favorite treats for the pups themselves.  After seeing a "Sniffany & Co." toy on Lauren Conrad's gift guide, I got to searching on Amazon and found the mega of all dog toys. {Stella has the chewy vuitton and sniffany & co. amongst her other "regular" Christmas gifts}



Previous 2015 CLLoves gift guides:

'Tis the Season {8 days left!}

Linking up with Thoughts for Thursday today.

  12. Is it just me, or did Stella get a new "do" to meet Santa? Did she have an appointment at the groomers before her big hook up with Santa?
