(Editorial Sidenote for Pictures Below...)

(Mommy wanted me to tell you that the red velvet dress I am wearing is over 40 years old!!! Gramma Micki actually MADE IT for Aunt Diane. Then Aunt Sharon & Mommy all took turns wearing it also. So I am donning a cool piece of history!!! I feel so special!)

A Visit from Santa

Who is this old man?

Is he okay? He looks kinda funny....

Are you sure he's ok?

Oooh! He brought me candy!

OK, I like him :-)

First official haircut

Well I had my first real haircut just before Thanksgiving. Miss Emily had cut my bangs in the spring but Miss Bessie was able to get rid of my rock-star mullett. Here is a before pic of me in the way cool cape...mom still has to take some after pics because I barely kept still for these!

Caught relaxing

Mom was in the kitchen cleanin' and she put a movie on for me. After a little while she quietly looked around the corner & found me on the couch, all covered up. I'm pretty smart so I just grabbed the blankie and made myself comfy!! (Those are my "Melmo" slippers)

GO BLUE!!!!

Well, the big game came & went and my team didn't pull through. But I still dressed in my best and cheered them on. Gramma is a Michigan fan too! This picture shows THREE generations of Michigan fans!!

Here's me, in my uniform!!
