Santa was not kind to Alexa Vega last Christmas.

The dog-loving actress, 23, had been longing to get a puppy for over a year, but she couldn't get her husband on board.

"He wasn't too excited about the idea," Vega tells PEOPLE. "He wanted to wait until we got a bigger place because he wanted a big dog."

At Christmastime, she hinted strongly that she wanted a puppy, and he hinted back that a dog was on its way. When they began to exchange gifts, Vega's husband called out into the hallway, saying, "Come here! Come here!"

Creamy spuds, melt-in-your-mouth cheesecake ... not exactly the fare one serves while in lean, mean training mode. But since production is slated to wrap up at the end of the month for Russell Crowe's upcoming boxing movie Cinderella Man – for which the star dropped 40 lbs. – it's no wonder he said thanks to the crew by treating 36 of them (including director Ron Howard) and himself to a sumptuous meal at Morton's Steakhouse in Toronto. Having eaten there before (his favorite dish is reportedly Cajun rib-eye steak), the good-humored host knew his way around the menu and, with Master and Commander-like decisiveness, took to ordering all the side dishes that graced the table in the eatery's private boardroom, including mashed potatoes, Lyonnaise potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. And when Crowe heard that his A Beautiful Mind costar Christopher Plummer was eating in the dining room below, he ran downstairs to say hello and invite the veteran actor up to join the crew.
