MERRY CHRISTMAS!

i have so much going on today, and it's been going on since around thanks giving! that's okay, this is the final push and then ~ camping! that's right, sparkelle and family are leaving banana hill on the 29th and not returning until 2008. (don't worry, the monkeys will be taken good care of.) the holiday season brought about some real surprises this year, the biggest would be cinereal. cinereal is a zparkleys.com monkey who was a gift from amber! yay! she is a lovely, yet mischievous monkey who fell into crazy fascination with the christmas tree! my two junior monkey keepers will be receiving their first monkeys, unofficially named sprinkle and confetti. and, always a believer in turning kids on to amazing things at a young age, i broke a rule of my own to purchase a "mutant" monkey for my dear friends soon-to-be new son, aidan. the new baby monkey came from iamsunshine on etsy.com and can be purchased at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5415882, there are none available at the time of this post but they do have adorable pocket friends and glove animals. i broke the mutant rule because i view this as more of a modification to make a more baby-safe monkey! (when you check out the pictures you may notice that the picture of cinereal looks a bit different, my digital camera dies this weekend {i know, can you believe the luck. a dead camera on christmas morning!} and i replaced it today with a panasonic dmc-tz3. supposedly the panasonic camera is a real bitchin' job. we'll see!
