This clip needs no explanation.
I'm up, let's go outside.

The Holiday Season
We spent Christmas back in the Motherland. Tater Gator took to her Grandparents quite well, but somehow we managed to not take any pictures of them. We got pictures of most every one else, including the gems below.
Luke takes a whiff of Wes's pit:
She doesn't quite get Christmas, but almost. Getting reaquainted with family and friends is super fun, and the wrapping paper and bows and boxes are as interesting as the gifts inside. She travels like a champ, and she sleeps better on the road than she does at home.
Tate tries to bring back the Macarena:

Tate and Abby hold down opposite ends of the couch while enjoying a mid-afternoon snack.
Tate has an independent streak and is not afraid to stray from her parents to check out whatever she's interested in.
Napping in the swing on a nippy afternoon.
We checked out the River of Lights this year. It was quite impressive. The displays were huge and animated, as shown below.
More New Mexico sky:
We went to Wolf Creek in mid-December. I've never seen so much snow:
We went to Monarch just last weekend. The panarama below is looking west from the Continental Divide.
The eyes are still blue.
I don't who this Santa fella is, but I sure do like his style!

A certain someone has learned to climb into her high chair. The next four pictures were taken over about 20 seconds.
This has prompted us to buy a booster seat for a normal chair, which so far is working pretty well. We've also bought a little potty so we can begin getting Tate used to it.
The Tater and Baby the Cat are clearly good buds.
In addition to the normal holiday activities, over the last few weeks we've been able to visit with old friends the Doornbos family, the Campbell family, the Price family, Andy, and the Geefer. Activities have included trips to the aquarium and gardens, meals, parties, bike rides, ski trips. Good times, as can be seen in the following pictures...

Low clouds make for a good picture:
Andy back lit by another incredible New Mexico sky:
Good times are the reward for clean livin'.
Andy's disturbing behavior draws Shmitty's stink eye:

Sweet Ass, the Geefer, and Scott.
The eyes are still blue.
Still not too big to cuddle!
Until next time,
Sweet Potato and family
