Great Grandma's Girls

This is my sweet Grandma, she is my mom's mom. She has 6 granddaughters, and now 3 great grandaughters. SO MUCH FUN!!!! This is on Chrsitmas day with Charleigh, Clementine and Cheyenne. I guess something must have really cracked Gram and Charleigh up. I love this picture.

My Two Loves......

Could this be any sweeter?
I am a lucky girl.

Little Girl in a Big Hat..... Little girl in a Big hat....

She tries to ride this horse head around the house, she styles the mane then takes it for a spin

Daddy's Hat

Charleigh loves wearing her daddy's old cowboy hats. Whenever she wants to ride on his saddle he won she HAS to also have a hat to wear. Same goes when she plays with her horses, she goes and grabs one of her daddy's hats. In these pictures she is fixing her horse's mane.

Then she saw my boots and had to put them on too.

The Way of Lights...

There were so many beautiful lights to see. Even better....this whole thing was free. They had just under a million lights and all kinds of other activities. Charleigh loved going through it, we might have to make it a tradition.

Christmas tree display.

Charleigh loved all of these pretty trees. she couldn't hold still very long to look at just one.

She ran to each tree and said"wow" and would point to everything on the tree.

This tree was my favorite. It makes my tree look like the tree on Charlie Brown's Christmas special.

More of the Way of lights

They had a children's room with a puppet show, coloring, crafts, music, play area and pictures. Charleigh didn't know what to do first.

This little girl kept wanting to play with Charleigh. Charleigh loves being with other kids.

Charleigh couldn't focus on me, she was looking at the kids playing by us.

Of course the first stop on our trip had to be the petting zoo. We are big fans. It was a COMPLETE MAD HOUSE!!! It was hard to move, there were so many people. We didn't let it bother us, we stayed here for 45 minutes. Then drove on throught the lights. Everything in this picture is fine.....then all of a sudden............

.............The camel licked my neck!! Oh it just startled me and made Charleigh laugh. She loves it when anyone gets scared.
Even more strange than my face in this picture is the pair of hands in the bottom left corner that looks like they are getting ready to snatch Charleigh up. I guess maybe they thought that they were going to save her from the camel.

Keep it Flat.

Ben trying to get Charleigh to hold the feed in her hand flat.

Feeding him with a falt hand.

Charleigh kept insisting on feeding them with two fingers instead of with a flat hand like we told her. Notice her fingers in this picture.

....and in this one. Wait for it, wait for it...............

Yep! It got her finger, and she was a bit mad about it. She kept saying "Owwwwww"

Then it was funny.

Feeding the goats...

YAK-YAK YAK....

She was excited when she finally let him eat out of her hand.

I had to show a picture of the Yak, he was so pretty.
