(New) Home for the Holidays!

This is it.  This is your Christmas card from the Bartons...

A Very Merry from Bill and Carrie!!!

And Zouey and Hayes and Tracky and Scratty!

We haven't had the time - as most of you know - to do any Christmas stuff because...

WE MOVED!!!

So now we've gone from a house to a yurt to an RV to a yurt to a house, or something like that!  After a two and a half month ordeal, we are pretty happily ensconced in our new abode!  And we be Texans!  Bill comes by it naturally - the rest of us are add-ons.  But hopefully we are in the right place, where life would have us at this point...
This is as Christmasy as we got this year (no Christmas cards, lights, a tree, or anything!), but maybe you'll enjoy the fuzzy subject matter of most of these images.

Zouey and Hayes pose in our living room.

My desk fit perfectly in a corner of the living room.

The doggies comply with another of my many modeling requests to show off one of our antique pieces.

The nice cabinets and counter in the dining room.

Tracky and Zou share some window space.

Scratty checks out the non-blooming Christmas cacti (they WERE blooming when I got them about a month or more ago...!?!  Oh well...).

Thanks to their Uncle Dougie and Aunt Vicki, the critters had another terrific Christmas!!!!
Packages arrive from Florida and say "To: Hayes," "To:  Zou," "To: Scratty and Tractor..."
And our kids know it!!!  Of course, they're so spoiled now, they try to open each other's presents and OUR presents too!!!

And then there's Hayes...  We all know what a PIG he is when it comes to food.  When someone gives our dogs milkbones, Hayes eats his so fast he can go for Zou's before she even THINKS about eating it!!!!  Well, apparently the same goes for Christmas presents!!!!  See how he's coveting HER gift?!!

Well, before she knew it, he grabbed it!  Mine!

She gets it back, with a look like "Hey, this is mine, right?  For me, right?!!"

Fortunately, our doggies are super good at sharing.  Hayes steals the toys away, but he brings them back because toys are way more fun shared!!!

The cats scored a crinkly, crunchy-sounding tunnel thing!  COOL!!!!!!!  We KNOW they will love this!!  Tractor can't wait and dives in...

Unfortunately, the dogs dove in right after him!  That sort of ended the game because one little cat can't quite handle two big dogs biting and jumping blindly on him!!  This will need to be a CAT ONLY Play Zone toy!!!
After that, the dogs got an ATV ride to the lake to play.  The cats got their own ride right after.
Nope.  Not spoiled at all...
We hope that your Christmas was at least half as good as our kids' was!!
