"The Relatives' Birthday Party!"

Tanks' Uncle Elliott and his Mom, Marlo, celebrated their 12th birthday yesterday.  They had an outing with their friends, having a grand time playing and running through the snow. 

(note* we are not the only ones to have birthday party hats*)

A special HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Marlo and Elliott!

 Their friends Dexter and Michibou helped celebrate the day.  Above is Mich in his lovely winter jacket!

"Where did everybody go?'  Dexter, in plaid, and Mich in green seem to looking for the rest of the party goers.  It's tough being short when you can't see over the snow!

Little Wicked Witch!

Kira never, ever leaves a ball.  She will search 'til 'the cows come home' as the saying goes, to find it.  Well today she abandoned it for a huge and heavy chunk of frozen grass/dirt/ice from the side of the driveway.

She ran on our complete walk with this heavy thing in her mouth.  When she ran far enough ahead of me, she tried to 'eat' it.

She always pleases herself and she knew I was none too pleased with her!

But she's just so darn cute....and I know where the ball is for next time out....
