More Christmas pics (More doggies!)

[Tonya]

This is me holding Terminator, my bro-in-law's 8 month old baby. Would you believe my in-laws are letting Terminator in the house?! He has the best personality for a small dog. He is so outgoing and fearless!



Brother in law Joseph and his gf Bonnie with their child. (Joe and Bonnie have been together since they were 12! )




My mom-in-law and Jaden (look how tall he is for 6 years old!) Notice the dirt on his shirt? Little rascal got himself into some trouble and he wouldn't tell us what happened!

Ok, on to Mike's biological mom's family, we went there next...

This is Keesha. She is beautiful, but she was a bad doggie. Not friendly at all. She had to stay outside all day. She tried to eat me when I went outside to take her pics.







Here is Sammi. She's really old and grumpy, so this was the best pic I could get. She likes her privacy these days.



Myself with my two monkeys, Mike and Jaden:



Now, moving on to my dad's house...

Sloppy Joe (note how he will only sit with his butt two inches off the ground)...



My little nephew (technically my 2nd cousin)...this picture does him no justice...His mom is from Fiji and my cousin is Filipinio; he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. He always has pink rosy cheeks and those big beautiful brown eyes. I love him!

BTW, his name is pronounced Hateyahtahe. Spelled something like Heiararii. (I can't spell it, just say it!)

I can't believe they named that little dog Terminator. And that wolf looking dog is beautiful. Too bad he didn't behave. Would love to see some good pics of him. I love Sloppy Joe. He's cute.

Bump! You must see The Terminator!

Keesha is gorgeous! Too bad she wasn't really friendly.
Terminator is such a cute chihuahua

I know, Keesha is beautiful. They'd just rescued her. They hope to turn her around, but I don't know if that is such a good idea...they have small children.

I am totally in love with Terminator though. He was so outgoing!

Tonya that is some visious dog you are holding, Terminator? LOL!

By the way, you didn't bring any of your cones with you ? Tonya, that is a verrry good picture of you, I have to say it, you are beautiful.

Thank you so much! You have no idea how good it is to hear that. My husband's uncle said something really cruel to me about my looks on Christmas day. My feelings are still really hurt, so you made me feel good.

I love The Terminator! What a cutie!

Tonya, I also think you are beautiful. I'm not just saying that either. My first thought when I saw the first pic was, "She is so pretty and has a beautiful smile." Then I saw your husband and son with you and I thought "What a beautiful family". You guys look great! I don't know what cruel thing that idiot uncle said but don't you beleive it for one second. Why is that at every family get together there is that one person that always makes a mean comment and they don't even realize that it hurt. I HATE THAT! Hmmm, can you tell that this happens to me too....lol.

Thank you very much, Robin.

I've only see this uncle at Christmas, therefore I have only seen him 4 times. Last year he told me that I have a horse smile. This year, he took a digital pic of me, then showed everyone how how much my pockmarks showed up in the pic. He then asked me (in front of everyone) why I am almost 26 years old and haven't gotten my skin fixed yet. It really hurt me because I am very self-conscious about my skin.

Anyways, I need to stop pitying myself. I just want to let you know that your comments really touched me and they really came at the right time. Thank you so much.

Sounds like this uncle is jealous that Mike has you and he doesn't!

Don't believe a word of it, you're stunning! Ah, to be young and beautiful again. *sighs*

Look at yourself!

The Terminator's pretty darned cute, too!

Thanks, Micki...This guy is so insecure with himself that when Mike's aunt lost 100lbs, he insisted that she gained it back. He didn't feel comfortable with her being thin. Mike also recalls when he was a child, back when his aunt was dating him; he was really abusive. Like they'd take him places and the uncle would be like "Why do we have to take this stupid kid with us? blah blah blah." Thank God I only have to see him once a year. But he sure hit a sore spot this year. That's something that I am so self conscious about and he chose to bring it up.
