Christmas in Colorado...Part 3...

Also to arrive on Christmas Eve was my brother, Kyle, and his wife Alexis and baby Hannah. Here's Hannah on Christmas morning. Don't you just love her red hat?
And I LOVED her little red dress with the black poodle on it.
While breakfast finished getting itself ready, Hannah opened her stocking with Grandpa.
Here is Kelsi in the North Face jacket we got for her. It made me want to get one for myself!
We gave my Grandma Colleen a picture of us in a frame. Grandma just loves pictures of us grandchildren, so I know it's going to good use!
Here's Hannah with the Mozart Cube we got for her. She loved it. When it plays the music, she wiggles her hips! So cute!
I absolutely love this picture of my mom and Hannah.
Here's Hannah with her little xylophone. She really got the hang of how to make the music!
And finally, here is the 4-generation picture: Hannah, Kyle, Mom, and Grandma

Christmas in Colorado...Part 2...

On Christmas Eve, Huzz and I had to drive up to Denver to pick up Huzz's bro, Erik, and his wife, Julie. We left a little early and went to visit our friends' new baby, Eva.

Isn't she just beautiful? I love it when they are just SO SMALL!
Eva just barely missed my birthday. She was born late on the 18th of December.
Yes, here we are, with a baby. I know, everybody now....AWWWW.....

Christmas in Colorado...Part 1...

The day after we arrived in Colorado, my Grandpa John and Grandma Nancy rolled into town. They drove from Tucson and first came to see us, then they drove to Kansas City to have Christmas with my aunts and uncles and little cousins, and then they drove BACK to Colorado so they could see Kyle & Alexis & Hannah. Talk about troopers!

Here is my dad, my mom, sister Kelsi, me, Huzz, and Grandpa John (and little Molly). Grandma Nancy managed to get out of being in that picture so she could "take the picture." She's a sly one, that Grandma!
But we forced her to be accounted for by taking a picture with just the grandchildren present at the time. I like this picture better because you can't see my plaid pajama pants.
We had so much fun with you, Grandpa and Grandma! Thank you so much for making the trip to Colorado TWICE so that we could all spend time with you.

Hi, My Name's Molly...

Hi, my name is Molly. I was adopted in November. I belong to Beth's Grandpa John and Grandma Nancy. I am a Shih Tzu.

Most of the time, you cannot see my eyes. They actually show up better on camera than in real-life. They tell me all the time how cute I am.

Wait one second... I have an itch...

Okay, one last photo, since you can't get enough of me.

I became good friends with Beth's dog, Riley, while I was in Colorado with my mommy and daddy. Riley is really big and has beautiful long, blond hair. For some reason, she likes to chase balls. This is silly behavior. I don't approve, and as you can see from this video, I am not afraid to let Riley know how I feel.

Merry Christmas...from Us!

Here is our Christmas picture, in front of the tree, with Riley! Our complete family! I totally dropped the ball this year and didn't get pictures or cards sent out. I promise to do it next year! For now, this will have to do.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
