New Year but nothing much new

It may be a new year, but quite honestly, there is not too much to share EXCEPT, that we have a new addition to the family!
No, I am not pregnant, nor have we adopted a baby, but we did adopt a 5 year old Husky named Lexy!
From the day we moved into our new house, Adam and the kids have been asking for a pet, and I have repeatedly said no, we don't have the time. But, when Lexy the husky was rescued by our neighbours, and was looking for a good home, we could not say no. She is fully trained, very affectionate, and amazing with the kids. The kids LOVE her, and we are enjoying life with 2 kids and a dog!
I don't have a lot of photos yet, as getting photos of 2 kids is hard enough, but add a dog to that, and it become next to impossible. Here is the best that I could do!

This evening, when Nahla gave her a treat, Tyran immediately took it from her. Amazingly, Lexy waited patiently until he was ready to give it back. After chewing it up, the kids then took each individual piece and fed it to her. This amazed me, as most dogs would have taken their treat and run, knowing that kids could get a hold of it. Not Lexy, she enjoyed the attention!
We then attempted to get a partial family photo, and this was the best of the 12!
