Another Holiday Edition of Alphabe-Thursday

28 Dec

Once the Yule/Christmas festivities settle down, it’s time to start thinking about New Year’s Eve and Day.  That can only mean one thing~time to grab some fun headgear and the camera and head to the barnyard!  Yep!  Happy New Year’s Goats!

Bud getting all dressed up for the party!

Party girl Harley seems to be shouting “Happy New Year!”

Maggie was begging us to let her wear some holiday finery.

Fionn wasn’t quite as happy about the stars as he was with his Santa hat, but he managed a smile for me.  Kind of…

Isn’t Cinnamon adorable in the festive horn bow?

Even MJ got into the spirit!

Finally, Millie has a very important message for everyone.

“We hope hope you all have a safe and fun celebration for New Year’s Eve.”

      Thanks! We are probably going to party like we’re 99 and just spend a nice quiet evening at home. Hope you have fun.

    Looks like a party time on the farm!

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 4:31 pm #

      Quite the party animals around here!

    Happy New Year

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 5:24 pm #

      Glad you enjoyed your stop. Have a great 2012!

    The goats and MJ are such great sports! How wonderful they are to pose for you. Happy New Year and all the best in 2012!

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 6:41 pm #

      I was surprised how good MJ was~never even moved. The only problem I had was the wind blowing things off his huge head! Have a great new year!

    Now that I know what is in I can pick up some party favors to celebrate with at my house.

    Happy New Year!

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 7:03 pm #

      Noise makers are popular too, but I didn’t buy those. Around here we call them geese. 🙂 Hope you have a great 2012!

  7. jen December 28, 2011 at 7:11 pm #

    Happy New Years… too cute.

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 7:22 pm #

      Aren’t they fun!

      • jen December 29, 2011 at 4:51 pm #

        Yes they are 😉

      • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 4:56 pm #

        🙂 I bet your goats would enjoy a good round of dress up too!

  8. Jann Olson December 28, 2011 at 8:45 pm #

    This post really got my goat! Love these cute critters! Some look like they are really enjoying getting all decked out for the New Year. They don’t even need to bring noise makers. They each have their own unique sound. LOVE IT! Happy New Year!

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 10:35 pm #

      They really love attention and do have fun playing dress up. Well, some of them do, and the others we respect their desire not to participate. 🙂

  9. Alica December 28, 2011 at 8:53 pm #

    I’m amazed at what you can get your goats to tolerate…they must just love to party! 🙂

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 10:36 pm #

      We (the animals and humans) do have a lot of fun with this! Harley and Cinnamon and Bud will do just about anything as long as they are getting attention.

  10. Vicki December 28, 2011 at 9:34 pm #

    They gotta love you:) Cute cute cute!!

    • Teresa December 28, 2011 at 10:36 pm #

      I truly adore them! Thanks for stopping by.

  11. Barbara F. December 28, 2011 at 10:46 pm #

    This is such a fun post. Love those cute goats. Happy New Year, Teresa. xo

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 7:00 am #

      Thanks. Hope 2012 is very good to you!

  12. Pat December 28, 2011 at 10:48 pm #

    Really like those polka dots!

    Wishing you and your dressed for the occasion friends :o)

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 7:01 am #

      I do like that bow too, whether it’s on Bud or Cinnamon. Hope you have a great 2012!

  13. Candy C. December 29, 2011 at 7:49 am #

    Happy New Year! The picture of MJ has got to be my favorite! 🙂

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 8:10 am #

      He’s a big sweet cuddly guy! What can I say? Hope you have a great 2012!

  14. doublebhomestead December 29, 2011 at 8:43 am #

    Happy, smiley goats for new years, I guess you just started a new tradition for me!

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 11:21 am #

      Yeah! Hope 2012 is a wonderful year for you.

  15. JoyceAnn December 29, 2011 at 9:37 am #

    The goats look so cute with their New Year party hats! Cinnamon looks sweet , MJ looks content and Millie looks soooo serious (LOL).

    Blessings , JoyceAnn

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 11:22 am #

      Millie does take her duties very seriously. Hope you have a very Happy New Year!

  16. Pat December 29, 2011 at 9:40 am #

    They’re all so adorable! Looks like the place to celebrate New Year’s Eve will be your barn!

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 11:22 am #

      We are party animals around here! Happy New Year.

  17. Nancy December 29, 2011 at 9:56 am #

    My chickens just won’t sti still for me to put little hats on them! Love your photos, Teresa. Your animals are so gentle and well-behaved. 🙂

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 11:24 am #

      I’ve never thought I could get the chickens to sit still to try and dress them up. I guess goats and cattle are enough. Happy New Year.

  18. Bev December 29, 2011 at 1:37 pm #

    I love these! Cinnamon wants to be a film star. I just want to hug MJ. I sent his photo (the one with your mom) to some friends and they thought I’d photoshopped him bigger. hee hee hee

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 2:59 pm #

      He is a massive guy! MJ does enjoy hugs from people he knows. Believe it or not, he’s awfully shy. He was scared when my mom got so close to him. I think he’s just afraid he’ll end up hurting someone.

  19. cattlecallfarm December 29, 2011 at 2:03 pm #

    Love the festive attire! It has been a real crazy year for me, all of my animals are fine and I am hoping to get caught back up or at least get back on track. It was good to hear from you.

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 3:00 pm #

      Glad to hear everyone is well. Hope you have a wonderful 2012!

  20. Marigold and the Goatmother December 29, 2011 at 2:29 pm #

    Cinnamon IS indeed quite adorable! Happy New Year to the Iowa barnyard from the Washington one! 🙂

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 3:00 pm #

      Thank you! We hope you have all the peanuts you want in 2012!

  21. Pondside December 29, 2011 at 6:23 pm #

    Maggie and Cinnamon are too, too cute….but Fionn looks to have tippled a little already!

    • Teresa December 29, 2011 at 7:07 pm #

      I confess that Fionn was annoyed. I got a hat stuck over his head.

  22. Anita December 29, 2011 at 11:07 pm #

    I’ve been to a party or two with an old goat or two, but none that were as cute as yours!! hee hee. Happy New Year!

    • Teresa December 30, 2011 at 7:59 am #

      Oh, thanks. They are awfully cute party animals!

  23. Raw Thoughts and Feelings December 30, 2011 at 9:55 am #

    They are absolutely adorable, Teresa! A party like this is fantastic.

    Happy New Year!

    • Teresa December 30, 2011 at 9:59 am #

      Thanks! Happy New Year to you also!

  24. Judie December 30, 2011 at 1:19 pm #

    Well, afater seeing those photos, I want to come to YOUR party!!!

    • Teresa December 30, 2011 at 1:43 pm #

      Well, that’s as exciting as we get around here!

  25. kateri December 31, 2011 at 1:07 pm #

    Oh, my gosh, how adorable. And your animals are so cooperative!

    • Teresa December 31, 2011 at 5:44 pm #

      Most of them aren’t this cooperative. I choose wisely!

  26. Jenny Matlock January 9, 2012 at 9:48 am #

    How funny! I can’t believe they didn’t shake their festive gear off and eat it immediately.

    What a wonderful start to 2012! Goats all partied up!

    Thanks for the smile.

    Sending many warm wishes your way for a creative and fun 2012!

    • Teresa January 9, 2012 at 11:08 am #

      Thanks. Hope you have a great 2012 as well. They really are cooperative, and I don’t show the ones the see the hats and run the other direction. 🙂
