Let It Snow, Let It Snow

We got snow in Las Cruces today! I had a little fever last night, so Mama kept me home. When we got up we had a great surprise. Daddy took me to the window to see a white blanket all over our back yard. He asked me what it was and I told him – MESS. That is what it looked like to me! Before Daddy left, he gave me a snowball, but it broke – then there really was a mess, but me and Mama cleaned it up – with some help from Oscar and Nolie. I hope get another chance to play in the snow!

Thankful for Family

We stayed with Uncle Jeff as usual, but we got to visit lots of other family while we were in Oklahoma. We spent Thanksgiving at Papa and Nana’s with my cousins on Nana’s side. We played at Granny Nelly’s – that is where I got to play with Jasper - he even took me out to see the cows. And I played with the goats I got at Atwoods with Granny and Daddy. It was great to see everybody. Granny Sharon got me new books and a stick horse to race. Then there are all the Christmas presents we brought home from Papa & Nana and Aunt Judy! I am so glad everyone in Oklahoma loves me! I guess they will love Pumpkin, too.

Braums and More Braums

So Daddy loves Braums. We went every day (sometimes twice a day) while we were in Oklahoma. Sometimes I shared ice cream, but sometimes I got my very own. One word of warning – the junior cone is not so junior, but it was good. On the way home we stopped at the last Braums (in Amarillo, TX) and put 10 cartons of ice cream in the cooler to bring home for the holidays.

Quack, Quack

Mama and Daddy took me to the park to see the ducks while we were in Oklahoma. I loved them!! We took some bread, but the sign said not to feed them. I figure I can’t read, so all’s fair, but Daddy said no, so we just played with them. Then I got to play on the slide and the monkey bars. Mama even went down the slide with pumpkin – I was there to catch her at the bottom!

Yeah, Oklahoma!

Me and Mama and Daddy went to Oklahoma to visit and celebrate Thanksgiving. We did some shopping at my favorite store – Atwoods. I found this bone that I thought Oscar would likeI could barely hold it. Then I learned about the roping dummy you put on hay. Daddy calls this shot taking the bull by the horns. I even helped sort the horseshoes by size. I got to try out everything – the lawn tractors. The go carts. The bouncy bull. I even got a little horse brush to comb my hair with. I combed Mama’s hair, too – it was pretty.

Happy Birthday, Grandpa

Today is Grandpa's Birthday, but since we were there last weekend we celebrated early. He had asked for a Drywaller's Square - this was a cool present because it was big enough to measure me with! I hope Grandpa has a great birthday, even though I can't be there.

Santa Smanta

So last Friday Mama took me to the mall to get pictures with Santa. We went with Holly and Eli. Emmalee came, too, even though she didn't get her picture done. I did it, but I didn't like it much. I am not to sure about this Santa person. We did get to play with the cool bead table at the studio and after photos we had Chic-Fil-A. That was the best part. It was pretty fun to hang out with all my friends!
