Merry Christmas!

So a few days before the holiday...I walked into the room to this! Can you explain this to me?!

Mommy, her friend heather, and her daughter Jaedyn playing a guessing game.
Daddy said "yeah, that's never going to happen"....what did he mean by that...was he being tacky?
Heather...she didn't get this one! But as you can see Emerson is in the mix and we had to hold everything up!
Miss JJ...she was a whiz at the game and got this one!
Mommy and me!
Then came Pooh Bah and Pooh Mah into town...here is brother doing his usually...smiling away...making me look like the serious one.
Emerson and I got a new easel for Christmas...we are Pollock's in the making!
This Christmas, Blue is a little blue...she misses her friend but loved all the attention she was getting!
Mommy was a little worried when she didn't hear anything for awhile....but brother and I were just reading...I don't know why she doubts us?
Oh Hi!
Pooh Bah reading to me!
My new hat from Grama Kama!

Brother doing again what he does best...smiling!
We are trying to really suck up to Pooh Bah!

Grandpa opening his presents!
My new kitty umbrella!
Brother's puppy umbrella...I'll have to hold it for him for a bit longer!
Grandpa's new mug from Big E and I!
Pooh Mah's new shirt...she may need assistance...which is fairly true:)
Pooh Mah's new mug...our fingerprints are the doggie foot prints on her cup!
Emerson's new hat...he is saying, "Come near me and I will swat you with this present" "I am now lion-like!"
Isn't he cute!
Pooh Bah's mug!
Daddy's mug!
How did Mommy end up with this guy?
Emerson with his new tool belt! It was a very gender specific present.
"Grandpa, do you need help with a job...I'm ready!"
Our new kitchen! $15 from Craigslist...Mommy said she is the best bargain shopper ever!
New storage system for our toys...they are taking over!
Pooh Mah putting up our new lights~
Brother has a moon in his room....
And I have a flower! This is my new distraction before bedtime!
Then, Grandpa showed Pooh Bah how to use his new dutch oven...they look more like homeless people...we don't claim them!
Brother's new chair!
Watching Backyardigans...our favorite past time!
Painting with Pooh Mah...showing her how it's done! Merry Christmas!

Sad news

The Hatley family has some very sad news to report...Saturday morning we found our dear beloved Bandaid had passed. She went peacefully...thank goodness, and is now running with Faithy in large green pastures! In tribute to my "first born"...I love you Bandaid and can't wait to see you again!
