Christmas Day! Welcome to the Family, Sugar!

Christmas Day was here at last....Chandler and Cydney told Alvin the Elf they wanted a horse for Christmas! But could it really happen?


Chandler is all giddy because he got his DS3 fromSanta, he hasn't even noticed the horse outside the window...
WOW!!!!

Sugar is a beautiful gray American Quarterhorse. She is very sweet!


Taking Sugar back to the barn...


Back in her stall on a cold, rainy Christmas morning.


Back the house, the kids just noticing the new saddle.


Chandler takes a turn on the saddle.


Daddy helps Cydney take a turn.


Finally...after 2 very cold and rainy days, the sun came out and it was time to ride Sugar.


Chandler is a natural....


Cydney gets a turn...


How the kids spent the rest of their Christmas vacation.


Welcome to the family, Sugar!

Holiday Season, Part I...

As usual, this Holiday Season found us running non-stop. Before Christmas, we ventured out to the pond in the upper pasture. This time last year we couldn't even get to the pond because the pasture was so overgrown. This year, we can hike up there to take our Christmas pictures!


Beau and Tini are growing so fast. They are 6 months old now and are learning to not chase the cows! Especially since we have 4 calves in the pasture now.



You can see the pasture in the background.

The best pose with 2 very busy puppies.


Chandler and Cydney got to see Santa at a friends house. So exciting to have cookies with Santa every year.


Gingerbread house red-neck style...can only be found at Tractor Supply.


My next post will be a VERY exciting Christmas morning. As Chandler put it...It was the BEST Christmas ever...
