December 2010


December 31st: So much for 2010... Time sure flies when you're having fun! And you'll have to keep scrolling down to see all the fun we've been having...


Mommy got the Christmas decorations out early... look at me now - I'm DJ SLH! (Santa's Little Helper) Mommy's snowmen?  Not any more!  I needed a few more stuffed friends... My plan for world domination is coming together... Sure, they look friendly, but while everyone is distracted and being "merry" Lucie's minions will carry out her plans...
Santa setting Lucie straight on the meaning of Christmas Looks like the geese also  had something to tell Lucie Harry and Mommy waited at the bottom of the mountain (ok, it was a small hillside) while Daddy felled this year's Christmas tree (Lucie is behind the tree... can't you see her?) Looks like it might be a little bit heavy...
Harry visited with Santa before we left the tree farm too The start of the tree decorating... looks kind of big and bare... It looks a little better, but it is still an awfully big tree... what was Lucie thinking when she picked it out? I'm not crying or pouting... no one said anything about being wild and crazy!
OK, Lucie, you do the work and I'll direct!  First thing you need is... As if I would ever take direction from anyone, let alone my little brother! What?  I had some great ideas for that house... Tyranee here to wish you a Merry Christmas!  Don't worry, there are better decoration pictures still to come...
See, by Christmas Eve the tree looks fabulous!  How could anyone doubt Lucie's choice? Lucie decides to ham it up while Harry works on using his switch... Making cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve... the spirit of giving... or just trying to get some last minute brownie points? Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg...  (I just love the classic Christmas carols)
There is just a bit of color on the house this year - just for Lucie! Putting the finishing touches on Santa's cookies... Daddy is trying to tell me I'm supposed to stay asleep tonight so Santa can come Christmas morning!  Time for stockings!
I didn't get a lot in my stocking... but I did get this cool squirmy, light-up thingy... And, my panda pillow pet is far cooler than Lucie's penguin (but don't tell her I said so...) I made up a cinquain (pronounced sin-kein) for Daddy! (you can learn all about them here (mine is Didactic, not Crapsey (who wants a crappy cinquain anyway?)) I wanted to make sure Bob had a good Christmas too
I got this cool marble game... I'm not sure what Daddy is doing with camera angle thingy... Harry and I got Mommy this cool card... oh yeah, and a sweater too! Harry got me the Hex Bugs I really wanted - this one is named... wait for it... Pinkee! Now, with my Big Book of Questions and Answers, Daddy won't be the only one who knows everything...
Oh yeah!  I got me an Angry Bird from Aunt Maggie! Agent in training?!  I can probably already do more push ups than Agent Dan! Does this mean I have a license to get away with even more now? Bebe and Tanto came the day after Christmas... I couldn't even wait to get my coat off to give them their presents!
What a shocker... a horse shirt for Tanto! Thanks for the jelly beans, Manuel!  (Of course, this was the last time I got my hands on them...) This could take a long time to load, but it is well worth the wait...  (it could take several minutes for the movie to load) Even Bob liked my Hex Bugs!
Wine time in Oregon apparently includes shrimp too (watch out TC - Mommy is upping the ante...) Tanto tried to convince me to stop "mis-behaving" before she went home (it was just a short trip to the ER...) Most of the new additions to Lucie's crew... And even though she was asleep the whole time I was at the ER, Bebe also gave me a little talking too before she left... but I got the last laugh...
No telling what we were talking about... you'll just have to make up your own caption! I know I look really good here, but the fashion show is worth the wait... Here we are on the last day of 2010! . . . .. . . .
