Mocha Love & The Last Day of Christmas

We tell people that Mocha has a "licker" problem. It's because I encourage her; unfortunately, I love her sweet kisses. :) Ray caught it on film. Here she is giving me a big wet one. :) Did I tell you how much I love this girl! She's turning 6 years old this month!! Oh my goodness! Doesn't she look young as ever?
Here we are happily posing together. Alas. Take no notice of me without makeup. Obviously, I was ready for bed. :)

I know this is a little late, but we celebrated the last day of Christmas on Jan. 19. It was way fun. We were celebrating with my Mom's friend, Pam and her family. We've been so close since childhood that we've just named them family. :)

Here's our cousin Chad and his gal, Melissa. Chad is a police officer and if I am ever in trouble, I definitely plan to drop his name in hopes of being let off the hook. Thanks in advance, Chad!

Here's my uncle Benny. He actually built my parent's beautiful home! I think he did a great job, don't you?

Here's my sister with my grandma. Kim was doing a great job of keeping Grandma company. Kim has a sweet heart, and brought me some chocolate banana bread, that I have ADORED!! It's all gone now, and I'm limited to one piece of chocolate a day. What a rip, huh!

Notice how when we all get together, all the men stand together and talk. :)
Have you ever noticed how men flock together? :)

Here are all the gals in the kitchen. Obviously, I saw that too many cooks in the kitchen could be dangerous, so I stood by to take photos. From left to right: my sister-in-law(soon) Brittiny, my Aunt Pam, and my sweet Mama. These are 3 top chefs right here!
