Aunt Sam and Grandma Kathy took lily to get her ears pierced. Lily was such a trooper no tears and we didn't even have to talk her into getting the second one done!

Then we all went out for a very big breakfast at Paradise restaurant. 

Our house guest

We have Tucker over again while his humans are visiting family. I'm pretty sure he loves his vacation home. 

He just had a nice turkey treat.
