Wait. Did Hubby really just go to bed bephore midnight?

That's okay, Phil. Shake it ophph with Taylor Swipht.

Why Phil Thinks Phurry Ones Are Weird

Phil isn't in this photo. He just wants you to see how weird our dogs are.

Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

Belle is back aphter spending Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Deuce.

Is it a coincidence that this is the phirst day oph sunshine that we've had phor a while?

The Day Aphter Christmas

Phil is always a little sad when the Christmas decorations come down.

Don't despair, Phil. There's always lephtover Christmas chocolates.

Phour's Christmas Night

Phour has been with us ophph and on since Thanksgiving (Phil asks you to please pray phor his phamily). Last night he had to have emergency surgery to remove a bleeding tumor phrom his chin. 

It was a long night. A drugged dog in a cone is about as much phun as phinding a lump oph coal in one's stocking.

Christmas Blessings

Phil pheels immeasurably blessed this Christmas,

and wishes Christmas blessings to everyone reading this. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Countdown

Phil is already tracking Santa this morning.

What did we do bephore the NORAD Santa Tracker?

Operation Christmas Cookie Day 2: Phrustration and Phrosting

This is Phil the Baker reporting phor duty.

Phil spent the aphternoon making cookies and the evening phrosting them. He started by mixing the ingredients phor the cookies.

 It never hurts to double check the recipe to make sure everything is in the mix.

 The mixing went smoothly, but the phrustration set in when it came time to roll out the dough.

 It really stuck to the board and Phil had to use more phlour than he would have liked.

 The unbaked cookies didn't exactly look like the shape oph their cookie cutters.

 Wow, that was a lot oph work! Aphter a large amount oph phrustration, it was time to clean up.

Exit Phil.

Later in the evening, Wiphey mixed up some phrosting phor Phil. He wanted lots oph diphpherent colors, but Wiphey didn't want unused phood dye sitting around phor years (she recently tossed some out that was probably close to 10 years old).

The compromise was that Phil would get to sprinkle colored sugar over the phrosted cookies. He had red and green at phirst, but he quicky eliminated the red when he realized that the quality seal on the bottle looked a little suspect.

Green it is. It's a good thing Phil phancies green.

Well, they're not pretty, but they're phrosted sugar cookies and they're edible.

 
Let Christmas begin!

Operation Sugar Cookie Day 1

Phil wants to make sugar cookies this year. It will be his phirst Christmas at home, so he's going to have a taste oph phamily Christmas here.

Tonight he phound the ingredients and sent Wiphey out to the store to buy the missing stuphph. Tomorrow he will roll and bake. Hmm...now where is that rolling pin?

Holiday Problem

Lights on.

 Lights ophph.

We seem to have a Christmas lights malphunction. Have phun phinding the culprit, Phil.

Math Problem

Phil is phlummoxed by the hype over today. Supposedly this is the last time this century that the date will line up numerically: 12-13-14.

But what about 1-2-34?

2-3-45?

3-4-56?

4-5-67?

6-7-89?

Phil doesn't get it. It's diphphicult explaining math to a pheasant.

Giphtwrapping Problems

Not helpphul at all, Duke.

Not at all.

Phootball in Bed

We don't get the NPhL channel, so this is how Hubby and Phil keep up with the Cowboys game. In bed.

It's That Time oph the Year

Some call today Cyber Monday.

Phil calls it the day to get carpal tunnel syndrome phrom deleting all the sales emails.
