Our Oreo Has Returned To Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Mommy tricked us!!!! 
We knew something was up ...

Mommy told us we all had to come help with barn buckets, 
 and we all know Daddy never goes to the barn, 
and I don't really either, 
so this all seemed very strange...

...I think Avery knew something was happening, 
but what exactly????

Then Mommy told us the big secret ... 
can you guess what it is?!?!?!!

Not only were we getting a PONY to ride for ourselves, but 
it was our precious Oreo from years ago!!!
Here's Oreo when he was a baby, 
with me and Avery riding our baby Oreo when we were babies ...

our great Oreo the big COOKIE MONSTER!!!!

And now here he is again,
he hasn't seen us in years ...

...and look at him make himself right at home... 
he does remember us!!!!

Now it's time to have an Oreo celebration!!!!

And sign a contract to "be good" and "do chores" 
to be able to ride "our family horse"?!?!?!
Does that mean Daddy is going to ride Oreo too????
I don't really know why we had to sign it, 
but to ride Oreo again we would sign anything!!!

Welcome to the family, Oreo!!!

Oreo remembered just how gentle of 

a groomer Avery was ...

... and just how much I loved to feed him carrots ...

... and how good of riders and caretakers we both are!!!

Oreo seemed to love us getting back up on him 
after all these years and going for a ride ...

... even with my Avery's not-so-good-yet riding skills ...

... Oreo ate everything up, and was always ready for more ...

... but now it's time to "hit the showers"!!!

Oreo brings love and sunshine to all of those around him ...

... and we kids reflect all of that right back onto him!!!

Even Mommy started riding Oreo ... 
but only sometimes since Sophie would get so jealous!!!

Oreo, we love you so so much!!!
