home for the holidays at mom's!

our first stop on our little vacay home for christmas was my mom's!

our first two days were a great start to our vacation - food, more food, a little wine, some football, & a lot of rest.  exactly what we had hoped for.  we got to eat fantastic oklahoma mexican food.  ate delicious steak.  & enjoyed a scone or two.  oh, & i took my mom for her third pedicure ever.  third.  craziness, mom!  treat yourself more!

& blakey & i might have fallen asleep by 8 o'clock both nights.  {by might i mean it absolutely happened.}

mom & ray just got the most adorable {ehemmm... 2nd most adorable} boxer puppy!  her name is dakota.  she looks JUST like tanky did when he was a puppy.  so, of course, we loved her immediately.

& of course we had to take dakota to meet our little guy!!  at first they weren't too sure about each other... tanky wanted to protect his grandma's house & dakota thought he was gigantic.  but after a little running around outside, they became best of friends!  

as soon as we saw little dakota, we knew the perfect christmas gift for her.  a pink green man!!  tanky loves green man so obviously she will too.  & she did.  squeak squeak squeak squeak.  perfect gift!

& after two days of play play play, these two were a sleepy duo...

by the way, oklahoma sunrises, as it turns out, are just a beautiful as sunsets.  but i had to turn 26 to learn that :)

merry christmas, mom & ray!!!

love love,
kjp.
