Parties, Parties, and more Parties!

I have had quite the busy week... I meet a crazy silly dressed up man, I think they called him...Santa, we had a Christmas luncheon, went to Daddy's Christmas party, and had a Present-Extravaganza with The Lewrights! I have never seen so many presents....this gift thing is pretty great! I have definitely figured out how to rip that paper open...but Mommy always takes it away from me...because, well I do eat it! :) She also rearragned the Christmas tree...those shiny things are so tempting to touch and throw. Mommy and Daddy put all these big boxes under the tree with my name on them...boy, I can't wait to see what they are!

Santa wasn't as scary as I thought he would be...he was nice enough to give me a candy cane and that made me like him! I didn't even cry...Grier was there supporting me! Mommy and Daddy also took me to Opryland to see all those lights...wow, I have never seen so many!

Last night Grier and me got to open these big boxes...we found a few surprises in there...icicles, milk jugs, and a BIG YELLOW BALL! Boy it was fun, but man was I worn out! We had a big yummy dinner and lots of fun.....I sure am gonna miss my friends while there in Texas!

Daddy was telling me about everyone that is coming to see me for Christmas tonight...my Nina, ?, JJ, Rossy, Do and Dede! I can't wait to show them all the new things I can do, they will be so proud of me!

Better be good this week, I hear this Santa guy is watching me!

Baby Food is for the BIRDS!

Well today was quite an adventure for me! Mommy has finally realized I am over this baby food stuff and finally gave up and is giving me the yummy stuff that she and Daddy eat!
I ate all kinds of good stuff....Italian Chicken, Broccoli, Brown Rice...and even Blueberries! She even took me to the store and bought me some CHEESE GRITS for breakfast...finally some real Southern food!
That baby food is for the BIRDS!

I also showed off my walking skills today....Daddy was so impressed that I can walk/run so far all by myself! He is taking me to see Santa on Friday at his favorite store, Bass Pro Shops.....I hope this Santa guy doesn't expect to much from me...I hear he looks kind of funny! Stay tuned for my Santa pictures!

"Girls Gone Cheap!"

I got to join all the girls this weekend, at the "Girls Gone Cheap" get-away! My Cousins, Aunts and Great Aunt, Mimi, and Mommy took me to a cabin out in the woods on Tims Ford Lake. They are all so goofy...they made crazy ornaments, played silly games, decorated a Charlie Brown Tree...boy, I thought they were more creative! They ate so much food...and they shared a bit with me too....

Me, Mommy, and Mimi all had matching PJ's with sock monkeys....My great grandfather used to wear these socks and Mimi, Shish, & Aunt Frances would use them as Stockings at Christmas time...so everyone got a good laugh out of the 3 generations of Sock Monkeys!!!

I sure hope I get to go back next year...they fed me all kinds of goodies! I also got lots of toys and clothes from everyone...it was my first glimpse of this present thing....and I must say I LOVED IT! Although the toys were great....I must tell you all about these shiny, silver, stringy things they let me play with...I think Mommy called them "ICICLES!" Boy did I have a blast with those!

After a long relaxing weekend, we rested up and then Mommy and Mimi took me to get my Christmas pictures taken! Boy, they sure don't get it....I have had enough pictures already!!!!
