Carlye Opening Presents

 These pictures make me laugh because every single picture of Carlye opening gifts has either Nathanael with the trash bag and Abigail in them or both.  I think Abigail was in all of them but I edited her out because she moved and was only halfway in of some of them.  By the way - the day we opened Christmas presents as a family, Nathanael was there with the trash bag, collecting garbage as we opened our gifts.  He cannot stand clutter. He is certainly his Grandpa Bailey's grandson in the way.

 It's funny as I look at these pictures now, I see that Carlye was starting to look like she was getting a bad headache.  Later - after the party she complained her head hurt so bad that she didn't want to eat or go anywhere.  The baby bottle in the background it Dane's.

 Here she is unwrapping the blue Webkinz faun from us and finding out the Grandpa's present to her was her loftbed - her hearts desire.

The money in her hand and her other birthday money eventually went to buy a guinea pig.  She and Nathanael ( with money he had saved from Christmas) are now the proud owners of two guinea pigs - Bugsy and Henry.  They got them the day before we left.  Their dog, Emmaline (a Yorkie) thinks they are her puppies!
