our dog

Another Holiday Series post, this time we introduce you our official 2016 Christmas Family Card – yup, the one featured at the top and bottom of this post. All our close friends and family received one alongside their Christmas present and we can’t be more excited to shoot next year with out bundle of joy in it as well. Yes, I know Christmas sweaters are considered to be a fashion faux-pas, but hey, they are fun, they keep you warm and this is the only time of the year when you can actually wear them and not feel completely stupid. Plus, call me hormonal/emotional/whatever, but I love, love, love mine! D got it for me as a surprise for no actual reason and it perfectly depicts how I feel these days: like a fluffy polar bear, but I guess that is normal considering that in approximately 2 and a half weeks I will be delivering the very important cupcake that has been baking inside my belly for almost 9 months now.

That said, we hope you had a lovely time yesterday because we know we had with all our family. Let me tell you a bit about our traditional Christmas lunch-turned-dinner… Usually we get together at noon (1-ish) and eat for about 7 hours non-stop. One might say that Christmas dinner is a marathon for us and that would be very true. Sadly though, being so close to term, we could not spend more than 2 hours with our family mainly because I constantly feel the need to lay on my couch and relax these days.

On me:

Sweater – Pull and Bear; Jeans – H&M; Boots – Ugg; Bling – Swarovski; Watch – Apple Watch

On D:

Sweater – Pull and Bear; Jeans – Review; Socks – Happy Socks; Watch – Apple

On Nauca:

Sweater – Camon

Anyways, we hope you like our Christmas Sweaters and promise that we will post annually silly pics for the Holiday Series posts with our expanding family!

Since today is the 1st of June, therefore being the International Children’s Day, we’ve decided to introduce to you our child…for now, our dog is our official child, but we hope that someday we’ll expand our little family.

She has various names simply because we can’t really decide on one, but most of the time we call her Shtuli. She’s the warmest most loving dog we’ve ever met. She was born the year D and I met (7 years old) and she first entered the world on the same date as D, only 25 years later. We’ve had her for the last three years and the way she got into our lives is quite funny. I guess we can say she fought her way into our family.

She was born at our countryside house and she grew up among 8 other dogs. At some point in her life, when she was about four years old, she decided she didn’t like her friends anymore so she started fighting with them. We decided to adopt her, as she was D‘s favourite doggie and because I literally can’t live without an animal in my life. As soon as she entered our lives, we couldn’t imagine how we lived without her thus far. Each summer she is reunited with her childhood friends for a month as we take her back to the countryside, because most of August my parents stay there.

She is extremely lovable and warm with us, but she’s extremely shy with everyone else. Because of that, all our daily walks need to be at odd hours, either when everyone is sleeping or at work.
Shtuli is our absolute best friend and we consider her to be our child, so today it’s all about her!
