The Berretts and SUGAR!
We were so happy when Sugar arrived except CJ he was disturbed to have ANOTHER girl in the house after all even the cat and dog are girls at our house. He thinks next year we should have Spice.

It was late and the kids decided to find a place for sugar to sleep. They tried the stockings hung by the fireplace , next they tried standing her by the manger scene but it wasn’t very comfortable so she finally settled down on the couch, by the fireplace with a cozy washcloth blanket.

Sugar helped Ashley and Mariah do their piano practicing,













Played a computer games with CJ, and volleyball with Sarah. That was a little painful since she was the item trying to spike the ball.

She also spent time watching TV with the kids and we have to agree with Heather that Backyardagains is one of her favorites, she enjoyed laying in moms cozy bed in the mornings with Rachel and Lizzy.

This year we decided to make Gingerbread houses to give away to some older people in our ward. We told sugar all about it and she was so excited but when it came time to make the houses we couldn’t find her. We had a good time anyway.



Ashley and Cassidy were successful at keeping their house together they turned out beautiful but Sarah, Rachel, and Mariahs houses wouldn’t stay up so they made their own creations (with lots of candy). CJ just ate the candy!!! We kept calling Sugar but she wouldn’t come.
















Finally Monday afternoon we found Sugar. She was learning how to dance in our dance room downstairs. She is now an amazing dancer since she spent so much time down there.

Monday night we went to deliver our 2 remaining houses to some elderly neighbors and go caroling. We were glad that Sugar could go with us. She has an amazing voice. She is going to go back to Santa with some new talents. We have all had fun with her and we hope you will all find joy and happiness in your homes this holiday season.


Merry Christmas, We love and miss you!

Sugar didn't want to do gingerbread houses because she already did at Heather's. She has a lot of new things to learn and experience while she is here!
I loved it all. You guys sure do give us a lot to look at in your pictures. (Many faces)Love you all!

Don't tire Sugar out with all that dancing before she gets to me!
