Nanny to Mommy

My Father made many sacrifices for his country when he fought in Vietnam. His cancer was believed to be caused by his exposure to Agent Orange. So this Veteran's Day think about all the men and women who gave their lives and time away from their families to fight for your freedom.

I'm here letting my daddy know that although he is in heaven, in a place with no pain, he is missed here and will never be forgotten.

I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.  

About The Film:
"The North Pole has a new litter of playful pups! However, when the frisky foursome—Hope, Jingle, Charity and Noble—practically destroy Santa’s Workshop with their frolicking, they realize the best way to prove that they’re responsible enough to become Santa’s Helpers is to show how well they can spread the Christmas spirit all by themselves. With help from a magic crystal, they start granting everyone’s wishes. But their good intentions backfire when one unhappy boy asks that Christmas go away forever! With his wish impetuously fulfilled, and the joyous spirit quickly disappearing from the planet, Mrs. Claus and the pups have to find a way to reverse the spell—or risk losing Christmas forever!"



My Review:
Adorably sweet, cute, and innocent. My daughter, who is almost two, loved the talking puppies and the little girl singing. The songs were up-beat and jolly. My daughter watched almost the entire movie which is saying a LOT for a live action movie. The only reason she didn't make it the entire way through, was because it was way past her bedtime. But we give it two thumbs up!
