Puppy first Christmases are a special time. We learn about trees in the house, stockings, the nice list, and usually get to meet Santa Claus for the first time. We thought it would be fun to look back as Katie, Emma, Bailie, Madison, and Olivia to see what they looked like their first Christmases. This is my first Christmas, and I am enjoying it. Everything is so different than it has been the rest of my life, but I like it.
Emma celebrated her first Christmas in Germany in 2006. Katie was four that year and Emma was three and a half months old.
They did not do photos with Santa in Germany, so Katie and Emma had not met Santa Claus until 2007 when they were living in the US for the first time.
Bailie joined the family in 2013 as the second GBGV. She was six months old her first Christmas.
Her first Santa visit went pretty well. She was not sure if she liked him or not, but she sat still for her photo at least.
Madison has always been the family cutie because she is so small, and can be super sweet. She was four months old her first Christmas in 2016. It is amazing how dark her furs were!
Santa was not too scary for her, but you can see she is a little bit unsure about the guy.
Olivia has always been her own hound and Christmas is no exception. Of all the puppy first Christmases we have at our house, her photo memories are the funniest. Her first Christmas was in 2019 and she was nine months old.
I’m ending my look back with Olivia and Santa. She still has a fear of some men, and Santa is someone she wanted nothing to do with that day! It’s typical Olivia doing what she wants, not what she should do!
Hope you enjoyed our throwback today. We are thankful we have a lot of photos for all the memories. There are so many photos but I decided to limit it to just two per puppy.
My GBGV Life is joining Brian’s Home Blog in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
we love it so much to walk da memory lane with you….
It makes mom happy too see the other hounds as puppies.
We love the throwback photos when all of you were just pups!
We thought it would be fun to look back and remember.
LOL! How FUN!!! thanks for the memories! Olivia cracks me up!!!
She does what she wants, not what she is supposed to do!
Flashbacks are a good thing and you made me smile through this flashback. I laughed out loud with Olivia and Santa though. Adorable shot.
I’m thankful I found you. You’ve given all of us so much joy.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around and my best to your mom. ♥
She did not like Santa and refused to sit on his lap for a photo. No one can make her do things she doesn’t want to do.
The picture of Madison is priceless.
She was a super cute little one.
I loved each on and scrolled thru several times. Katy was a magnificent Great Pyrenes lady I’m guessing?
thank you for the flashbacks excellent idea
Hugs Cecilia
Katie was a Kuvasz. Mom couldn’t find any photos of her as a Christmas puppy. She lived to be 10 days shy of her 14th birthday. A real lady dog we hear.
Great memories showing each of those very different personalities.
Mom says we are all the same and very different.
Such wonderful memories!!!
We love looking back sometimes.
Those are all such precious photos and fun memories, we enjoyed them all. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
We are thankful we have lots of photos to remember our lives by.
What a fun trip down memory lane!
Thank you. We enjoyed looking back at past Christmases.
Aww, you each looked so cute. The Santas not nearly as much 😉
The Santas are really not all that great these days.
