This is just a quick blog with some photos from Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas and we were very fortunate to even have a Christmas. We had a scare about 3 weeks before Christmas when Mels Dad had a heart attack. Luckily (thanks to some very Heroic people) he made it and after Open Heart surgery, made it home in time for us all to be very thankful we could all be together. We all felt so blessed to be be spending the holidays together because we all knew how different our holiday could have been. Mel Sr had just ran a dog on the dog agility course at Redwood Acres when he fell over from a Heart attack. Mels Dad was very fortunate to have a doctor and nurse there when he fell and they immediately started CPR and the fire department happened to be at Redwood Acres with their new machine that helped save Mels life! It was the first time they had used their new machine and it worked!! We are all so lucky...everything was in his favor. So these pictures reflect a very happy family that are very thankful for each other
