Dec Happenings

 Who on earth can resist this face?

She is crawling!!!   And yells when she wants picked up. And is eating soft food. But was given a chicken leg to gnaw on and was that ever funny, she would not let go of it, even sort of cradled it in her little arms. and YELLED when it was time to clean up. she was not eating it more, just wanting to sort of suck on it..  She definitely lets you know her wants.. Sleeps really good and has her schedule...

She was sort of overwhelmed by all the action going on and people in and out.

 

 

 This is my 'official' xmas picture.  I went to my niece's in Prineville and spent 2 nights there.  the 1st night is always horrible as Sade will not settle down in the little twin bed and takes exception to all the bumps and movements of others throughout the night.  But we survive... Kevin did a brisket and it was enormous and very good and we all ate almost ALL  of it!!!  He was cooking it since 2am, up every hour to baste,,, like I said,   SO GOOD.

Everything was very nice,  Kevin daughter, Ava was there and my brother and his wife were also for Christmas night dinner.  The girls spent alot of their time in the bedroom.. such is teenagers now days, came out to greet people and eat, is about all you get.

 Weather even co-operated and was decent.. could have been warmer, but was nice and there was even a great sunset on Christmas Eve

Had a painting class on the 16th and i was happy with how it turned out.. Maybe i am learning something..

 

Celebrated my brothers 70th birthday on the 11th.  A really GOOD Mexican restaurant in Terrebonne of all places.. just a dinky little place north of Redmond. (the town not the restaurant)

 She is always so very alert to everything going on round her.. and all of the noise and color was a bit overwhelming i think, but she was very  good

She is eating so good

 

Sade is curled up on my lap, don't think she has recovered yet and is so tired.. She has to stay out alot of the time, or partitioned in a part of the laundry\man cave area with the other dogs.  They have gotten used to her and don't bother her much but she much prefers to be out when the chickens are and she is sure she is going to catch one of them and game on!!!  She gets too crazy and they have to put the chickens back in their area.  And she hovered the kitchen and had to keep track of that baby!! And when i  held Novah, that was very concerning.. tried to share my lap numerous times.  She just squirrels her way in there..

It was just a great family time and JOY was had by all 

Take Care and God Bless and Peace Be With You... and Peace for the New Year
