I'm Late with My Update Again...

Hello All!

Sorry that I am late with my update again...Mom and Dad have kept me busy with the holiday preparations...okay, I am not really the busy one, but I sure get tired looking at all the activity!

Well, I enjoyed a great Thanksgiving down in Texas with Dad's cousins and their kids...I was the little one this year and enjoyed all of the attention! Mom forgot to get out the camera, but I ate like a champ and enjoyed wearing my sweet potatoes as much as eating them! I also had my first tastes of turkey...smoked and baked...delicious! My Uncle Chris made some really good mashed potatoes...Mom cannot even come close!

Dad took me out to the "farm" and I got to see cows...up close and personal! There were a couple that were checking me out...and some of them even had horns! Mom was a little worried that they were going to run us over, but I knew they just thought we were bringing them some food!









Mom, Dad, and I stopped at a real volcano on our way down to Snyder. It was really pretty cool and Dad took me down into the "cone" while Mom stayed with the dogs. On a clear day, you can see 4 states from the top...and it sure looked like we were really high up there...although I guess we weren't even as high as we live, but everything around us was so flat!



If you look real close...there's an orange speck at the center of the picture...that's Dad and I at the bottom of the cone!







I missed out on the annual Castle Rock Star Lighting this year...I ended up with a little stomach bug and lost my lunch all over Mom's car! She didn't think that was very funny, but she was more worried about me. I got over that just in time to get an ear infection that makes me a little crabby...but hey who wouldn't be if their ears were hurting them?! Oh, yeah...and I am finally getting a couple more teeth!

I also enjoyed a great visit with my buddy Josh...I talked about him in my September update. He and his parents came over for dinner and play time. We had fun dancing to "Boogie Wonderland" in my Happy Feet card!

I've been helping Mom shop and I got to help Mom and Dad hang lights outside...I played with rocks while they took turns on the ladder! And I am loving watching the lights on the tree! I try to leave it alone, but every once in awhile it gets the best of me!





This past weekend we went to the Trail of Lights...very cool, but it was chilly! Mom tried taking pictures with her night setting...she didn't do too good!






Well, I've included some photos for your enjoyment! I'll send my next update after the Christmas holiday...I am off on another adventure! Merry Christmas to All!

Love,
Reese

Dear Reese,
I enjoyed the pictures-especially the one with the tree. I didn't know you were drinking out of a sippee cup now. You look warm and cozy in the tour of lights picture. It's been cold here the last couple of days. I enlarged the picture of the volcano location and could see you and Daddy. I hope you're feeling better and have a safe trip to Ohio. I haven't mailed your Christmas present cause I plan on getting you something out in California. I love you.
