I know you think that is a painted canvas or picture behind us, but that is TRUE NATURE BABY!!!!! SPECTACULAR!!!! That is the actual back yard and view from my Aunt Deb's back porch. I know I said before that I live in paradise, but this is a close second......Ha-----until you step outside!!!!!!

Whoa!!!! What a trip!!! We made it to No. Cal. despite a huge winter storm. When I here "STORM WATCH, 2008 in Palm Springs, that means one or two drops of rain. Up there, they are serious, dude!!!! (Dude??? Have you seen those new commercials? Hilarious!!!) Aaahhhh, Nana!!! What could be better than seeing my Great Grandmother Fern? We had all the great granchildren there at once except for the one boy who is just a few months older than I am (9 girls!!!) Hopefully I can meet him someday. My Daddy says he doesn't blame him for not being there....around all us women!!!! It was great seing my Aunt Debbie, Uncle Dave and cousins Holly and Erica.....Oh, and C.J., Holly's heartthrob. He's a sweetie!!!!

ZOOOOMMMMMM, ZOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!! I just love my new Quad!!!! Once I figured out how to keep my feet up on the petals, it was smooth sailin' !!!!!!

AT LAST........THE PRESENTS!!!!!!!!! OH YEA, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL!!!!!!! Now we're getting to the good stuff!!!! Ya know, I just can't enjoy anything without Percy getting in the way. She thinks she is the princess still. Ha--I let her think that!!!! Actually, she was a lot of help getting the paper off the gifts. I liked the doggy toys just as much as my own and vice versa!!!!

Twas the night before Christmas...........Old traditions carry on and new traditions are started. Our new family traditions are for me and Daddy to put the tree topper on the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve and for Mommy to read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to me and then to put the milk and cookies out for Santa......Oh, and don't forget the carrots for the reindeer!!!! Then they make me go to bed.....Whaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! They are so cruel sometimes!!!!

Okay, we live in the best place in the whole wide world. So. Cal.!!!! Not many kids can hang out at the park the middle of December!!! Jealous??? I think this is the park where we might have my first b-day party. Can you believe I'm almost a year????

We hopped on a plane to Houston to visit Mama B and Grandpa Phil just before Christmas and boy did we have a great time!!! Grandpa Phil helped me practice my perfect "10" dismount for the 2024 Summer Olympics!!!! Mama B took me down the slide for the first time!!!! I'm not so sure about that yet, ok a slight bit more fun on my own!!!!! Sitting on top of presents is much for fun than opening them, you should try it sometime!!!!!!
