Ripping open some gifts!



Having a little juice post present unwrapping.
"Why are you still taking photos of me Momma?!"

"WHOA!"

Carter pulled up a rocking chair to open
gifts at CeCe and Granddaddy's!



Thinking about taking his cousin Rick's milk....

Rick and Carter....can you tell they're related?!

Opening gifts with Grandma and Grandpa Manis!

A batik from South Africa :)

Our attempt at getting a Christmas photo with all 10 puppies...
The sun was setting and it was cold....and Carter and the puppies
 just wanted to run around!

I think this one is cute...with Carter and the puppy on the
left looking at each other!  

This was the chosen photo... I think we pulled it off pretty well.  You can't really tell I
had been running back and forth to the camera carrying three puppies...lots of times!!

December 2011

Sunny and TBA (pronounced Ta Ba) listening to the
radio!  TBA stayed for about a week longer than the
other puppies because his new owners were out of town.
Silly Boy! 
Carter and his Daddy looking for the perfect Christmas
tree.  We went to Skylark Farm on the Parkway with my parents.

Carter "helping" his Granddaddy cut down their tree!

Aaron and my Dad putting the first tree on the roof.

Strapping it down.

Playing with his favorite ornament...the cow his CeCe and
Granddaddy gave him for his first Christmas.

Mixing gingerbread dough...LOTS of dough.

Ayda and Michael T. preparing to cut their
gingerbread house shapes.

Michael T's construction skills paid off when it came to
building gingerbread houses....Ayda's was a typical house, but
he built a yurt for himself!

A view of the better side of my slum house!

MT's yurt.

Leah's Tepee...complete with a fire out front!! 
All bundled up to play outside!

Carter loves his doggies!!  Daisy, Lady, and Sunny.

Lovin on Sunny.
