Christmas Day Part 2

We had such a grand day on Saturday. After we all settled in, played, changed butts and just generally spent time together as a family, Amy wanted the kids to see the horses. We braved the cold Kansas winds to go up and see them. The kids were in horsie heaven!

Aubriella was fascinated with Dakota and I think he was fascinated with her too!

Aubriella couldn't get enough of the equines. Mia was enjoying herself as well.

My precious showed her cousins just how to feed the horses. She grabbed some fresh grass, flattened out her hand just like I have taught her and fed Dakota.

Of course I made a huge deal out of her showing them 'just how to do it the right way' She was pleased with herself.

Can you believe just how precious these babes are? Look at the monkey mittens! I swear, I could just eat 'em up (like Abby says).

The day after Christmas aka to me as Christmas Day part 1

I have so many things to share with you guys. Some text but mostly some of the most precious pictures I think my Cannon has ever taken. I don't have them all uploaded to my flickr due to being too busy play/changing/feeding and just generally loving my granddaughters that are still at my house.

I have had to work this week but I sure have had some kind of fun when I get home! In the meantime here are some pictures taken before the presents were opened.

Shall I start with my precious? Oh yes, I think so. Besides, Amy and her family had not arrived yet.
