Meet our family's newest additions!

We got two hamsters tonight. We had a hamster on our Christmas list for the kids, but they were sold out so we had the cage set up Christmas morning so they knew they were going to get one. I took the older two with me and I surprised them and let them each get one. That way they could each get the pick and name theirs. They were soooo excited. :)

Brayden is CRAZY about them. He gets positively giddy when they even move. :) He follows the ball around saying their names over and over "Rowie! (Rosie) Sissos! (Scissors)" He's such a funny guy.
This one is Chandlers, he named her Scissors. She's VERY skittish and will jump out of your hands into midair if you give her the chance. She goes to town on the wheel and in the ball. Lola has no idea what's going on. She's used to being the queen bee around here. She's very intense when she sees them... visibly shaking with.... excitement? jealousy? lol. She doesn't seem to like them much. She barks at the ball and makes Brayden laugh hysterically. :)


This is little Rosie, Taylor's pick. She's a sweetie, she'll let you hold and pet her as much as you want and never tries to bite. Taylor named her Rosie after my dad's (Poppy) hamster that he told her about while they were here. :) I thought that was so sweet. :)

Hamsters are such fun pets!! Mary's getting one too. We wrapped up a bag of hamster bedding for her to open Christmas morning, but we wanted to wait to get it for her since we were going to be gone for a week right after Christmas. We still haven't got it. This week, maybe... Your kids are sweeties.
