My Favorite Pictures of the Year

As I think about this being the end of the year, I decided that it would be nice to look over all the pictures I have taken of Tarcil this past few months since I first got him.  I was reminded of some pretty fun costumes, cute props, and adorable locations.

I thought it would be nice to pick out my favorites to share again with you in case any of you missed any of these.  So here we go!!

I am starting with Tarcil's Captain America Halloween costume as one of my favorite pictures.  I even made the shield to go with it.  :)

Of course I have to include Tarcil in his Gondor attire.  

And who could forget the time Tarcil showed his more artistic side?!?!

Tarcil hated that little scarf I made for him more than any other costume I have put him in.  Oh well.  Haha.  I think he makes the cutest little helper that Santa has ever seen.  :)

Thanks for taking time out your day this past year to look at pictures of my hamster, Tarcil!  I hope that he is able to bring you at least a little joy each day!!  :)  And don't forget to come back each day next year for more pictures and videos!

So what do you think?  Did I pick the best ones?  Let me know what your favorites are!  :)

Happy Holidays!

The year is coming to a close but the holiday season isn't quite over yet!!  And so Tarcil and I would like to wish you Happy Holidays!!

Tarcil in Christmas Mugs

I have a huge collection of mugs!  These are just some of my favorite!!  There is just something about using a square mug with a candy cane for a handle that just gets you in the mood for some creamy hot chocolate.  :)  

To me, it's just about the only thing that makes winter bearable.  :)

Tarcil in the Tree Again

This adorable little guy had a blast running around through the Christmas Tree!  He loved sniffing all the ornaments as he explored everything.  :)

Singing Snowman

Tarcil enjoy the songs from this singing snowman.  Tarcil even joined him on the piano which actually didn't work out so well... haha!  :)

Tarcil Opening Presents

Merry Christmas!!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

I had to take a video of Tarcil opening his presents for you to see!

It really didn't take him long to get his treat out.  And then the little stinker stuffed the entire treat in his cheek.  :)

Santa!

Who is ready for Santa to come tonight?!?!  Haha.  I couldn't resist dressing up my little Tarcil as Santa.  Isn't he so cute?!  :)

After a wonderful Christmas Eve Service at my church, I am glad to be at home now with my family, including the furry ones.  :)

Stocking Stuffers

My little Tarcil had a lovely time hanging out in his stocking.  He actually enjoyed it so much that it was fairly difficult to get him back out.  Haha!  I think he would have fallen asleep in there if I had left him alone for long enough.  :)

Tarcil in the Christmas Tree

I had to let this little guy enjoy the Christmas tree!  And he doesn't try to destroy it like my kitty does.  :)

More Trains

I got Tarcil to ride on the train!!  Haha!  It didn't last long but he sure does look adorable riding on that train!  :)

Tarcil with a Train

Somehow I have four Christmas trains... I guess that is what happens when your Christmas decorations are hand-me-downs.  I think that they are nice but due to the shear number of decorations I now own, I am looking to get rid of some stuff and these trains will be in the donation pile.  This of course means that I had to give Tarcil a chance to play with them before they are gone.  :)

Tarcil in Another Nativity Scene

Tarcil wasn't very interested in this Nativity scene.  He was getting distracted very easily by other items located on the table.  But that is okay because he is cute and furry!  :)

Tarcil in the Nativity Scene

I have a small collection of Nativity scenes among my Christmas decorations.  Tarcil started by sniffing baby Jesus (thankfully not biting haha) and then he tried to blend in with the farm animals...

I don't think his planned worked...  haha!  He definitely stands out.  I think he is too cute to blend in.  :)

Tarcil with More Christmas Houses

This will be the last of Tarcil in my Christmas village.  I just love all these pictures too much to not share them with you!!  I hope you have enjoyed seeing these as much as I do!!

I love watching Tarcil explore by sniffing everything and occasionally sticking something in his mouth.  That poor horse.  Haha  :)

Tarcil Walking Through My Little Village

I just had to take a video of Tarcil strolling through this collection of houses I have.  He is just so cute!  I love how he stops and sniffs the houses and people before moving along.  He is so adorable!  :)

Tarcil and the Lighthouse

I love lighthouses!  I think they are so unique and intriguing!!  Tarcil enjoyed climbing on this particular light house.  I don't think he will ever see a light house bigger than this... haha  :)

Tarcil at Church

Tarcil enjoyed his time in front of the church.  I think he even stopped to pray!!  :)

Then he seemed aware and less than pleased that I was spying on him while he was "at church".  Hahaha  :)  I love his little furry face even when he is clearly giving me a disapproving look!

Tarcil Visits the Toy Shop

This is one of my favorite houses!  It lights up and has a window full of little toys!  It's so cool!!

Tarcil enjoyed peaking around the corner into the window of the store.  :)

Tarcil with Christmas Houses

Today I let Tarcil enjoy my collection of Christmas houses.  I love these houses!  I have always been impressed with the amount of detail that is put into them!  And Tarcil seemed to enjoy them as well.  :)

Since I have so many houses, I will post more pictures the rest of this week of Tarcil's visit to this little village of mine.  I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as Tarcil enjoyed his exploration!  :)
