Happy New Year's Eve!

Thought we'd celebrate New Year's Eve with a little hike, looking pretty stylish:

Being a ham, as usual:

And ready to battle:

Tackling this hill with the help of some walking sticks:

And ended the afternoon by piling mulch onto the slide for some reason:

Making the Most of Our Home Days!

Enjoying a pretty day at the park with Daddy!

Merry Christmas!

Waiting semi-patiently for permission to come downstairs!

Look what Santa brought us!  Even a chunky kitty:

Loving my new pillow-dog from Santa - I have named him Mr. Salami!

And of course, no Christmas morning would be complete without a battle of some sort:

Checking out the new castle:

Christmas cutie-pies:

Relaxing with our puppies and a movie before the rest of the family gets here:

Playing Elf for Papa & Bebe:

Checking out Aunt Sara's new laptop:

Unwrapping a giant present:

New Garfield books from Papa & Bebe!

If anyone needs me, I'll be right here for the next 45 minutes:

Getting shooting lessons from Uncle Fahad:

Showing Grandpa Tommy & Sam my camera:

Time for war!

Did someone say "war"?  I have arrived:

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Just being our goofy selves in the kitchen:

Now to make the cookie batter for Santa cookies - love using the mixer!

My turn!

Oh and this is definitely the best part:

Finally ready to make some cookies!

And look what we found under our pillows - tickets to go on a Christmas Eve ride!

We said the whole time during the car that this is one of our favorite parts of Christmas - riding around in the car together, drinking hot chocolate, eating popcorn, finding Christmas lights and singing along to Christmas carols - I think Mama & Daddy might like it a little bit too :)

And when we got back, we each got to open one present - Molly thought she might have one too but she seemed to like my book so we shared:

Merry Christmas Eve!  Goodnight!
