ONCE UPON A TIME...

Today is the day we are decorating our
Christmas Tree

Welcome, and thanks for looking at our family's silly good time

Anna and Daddy-of course there is a Stetson shirt and a Gator Santa hat
(and a glimpse of fresh purple hair- Anna's not Drew's)

Jia getting started, she can only hang up the non-breakables
without a little help. When Katie was little she used to call the fragile ornaments
the "glassables" so of course, that's now what we all call them.
(Someday Jia is going to be SO confused)

Tall girl gets the high spots
Anna also volunteered for the dreaded job of putting the lights on the tree

Jia and Daddy
Katie calls Jia "Dad's barnacle"as Jia never wants to be without him

The girls and MA-MA

Katie and "Andrew" which is what she calls him.
She calls me "Mother" she is such a funny kid.

Mother and the rest of the girls
Jia looks like she is plotting something in this one

Anna kissing Albert (University of Florida's mascot)
for good luck

Why yes, I do kiss my dog on the lips!
Tink my blue chihuahua and only son.

Anna and Rex, the most terrible dog you would ever want to meet
see his devil eyes glowing?
He is up for adoption the day after Anna leaves for college
Accepting applications now.

Dad, working hard

Mom helps Jia with a "glassable" breakable ornament

A Parnham photo blog would not be complete without a weird face from Anna

This is our other little chihuahua
Josie
She has some horrible burn scars on the other side of her body
but she is a lover and thinks she is the most beautiful dog in the world.

A rare moment: Katie letting loose to dance with her little sister

Another dance move

Their finale
(you really have to sneak up with the camera to get shots
of Katie being silly so I treasure these!)

All Done!

EVERYONE HAD A LOT OF FUN. THERE WAS GINGERBREAD COOKIES FRESH FROM THE OVEN (THANK YOU KATIE) CHRISTMAS MUSIC AND LIGHTS ON THE TREE (THANKS ANNA) DAD HAD THE LADDER OUT AND EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY HAD TO ASK ME BEFORE THEY PLACED AN ORNAMENT. ANYWAY, A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!
