The Luckiest Girl Ever

Santa left a note for Mindy on Christmas morning that told her she had been a very good girl this year and that he had a present for her that couldn't fit down the chimney so she needed to go outside to see what it was....Mindy has said many times:

"I'm the luckiest girl ever" and "my pony is so stinkin cute"


She was SOOO excited to get outside and use her new halter and lead rope from Granny so she could "train" and ride her horse. She kept asking Granny, "but how did you know to get me a pink halter and lead rope?!"



She has told everyone about her new pony from Santa. When she walked outside and pet her new horse she said "I am going to name her Lightening". She later told us that she named her Lightening because she knew that she would be really fast just like lightening. She just can't stop talking about her pony!



I think this picture pretty much says it all!

Since we have been home Mindy has gotten up every morning and just cannot wait to get outside and be with her new friend! Today was sunny and in the fifties so we headed outside. Lightening wouldn't let me catch her so Mindy did it all by herself. She brushed her, led her around, "trained" her to get into the horse trailer about 3 times, and rode her while I led her around. She is so happy! This is the gift that keeps on giving :)
