MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Everyone made it for breakfast Christmas morning, that's what made it such a special day. Can you find Cote? I know he was here.

Making Christmas Cookies with Brexton

Last night I babysat Brexton, Nixin and Cote. Cote had a friend staying the night so he was occupied. Brexton and G-Mama made sugar cookies and we had lots of fun. They tasted good too!

Gingerbread Houses and Zoolights

We had loads of fun making gingerbread houses with all of our grandkids.

Didn't they do a great job? Thanks to my mom, Ina, for starting this Christmas tradition, first with her children (that would be Paul, Rhonda and Craig) then with our children, her grandchildren (Justin, Jeni, Brinton and Trey, Miranda, Hannah and Josh) now my grandchildren, her great grandchildren!
After gingerbread houses we all went to Zoolights, another tradition started by my Mom. She has been a Phoenix Zoo volunteer for many years. How many Mom? We are so lucky to have such a special lady who enjoys life and loves her family. I hope these family traditions carry on for generations to come. The above picture my niece Miranda and Christina at Zoolights.

Nixin loved Zoolights

Martin and Cote, their teeth light up, if I had turned off my camera flash we could have seen that.

Nixin Loie Colburn - Blessing

Today Nixin was blessed by her father Brinton Colburn and it was a beautiful blessing. Nixin is wearing the dress that Charlotte wore when she was blessed. She was a very good girl, not happy for this picture because we unwrapped her warm and toasty blanket. Loved the pink shoes!

Charlotte really did it up right, her biscuits and gravy were a big hit! I sure love you guys and I'm very proud of you and your beautiful family...........

At Last - Riding Psynna

The wait is over! I'm finally riding my baby girl Psynna. This is actually my third ride in our arena. I haven't taken her out on the trail yet, we are still getting used to each other. She is doing very well. She is very light in the briddle and moves off of leg pressure. Her "whoa" is great and she backs nicely. It is fun to work with her, we will have good times in the years to come.

How We Celebrated Thanksgiving

Nixin looked so cute in her denim skirt !

My grandpup Spur, not to be outdone by the grandchildren rode the zipline.
