Christmas Morning: Under the tree

Mom and Dave were staying with us for Christmas. We opened up Christmas presents both upstairs and downstairs as there was two trees with presents under them.

Christmas Morning

Santa came without a hitch but he was kind of messy this year. He left his fingerprints on the fireplace doors and soot on the ember pad. I guess he was in a hurry. Even Jigs and Meeko were thought of on Christmas. Jigs got a nice green toothbrush treat that was gone in less than five minutes. Cat was disinterested completely.
A very funny story: Heather was looking through her stocking checking out her new horse grooming box and crop. The next thing we knew, she got up and ran out the front door. It took us a while but we finally realized that she ran outside to look for a horse. She came back disappointed and I had to explain that just because the Easter Bunny brought chickens does not mean that Santa brought a horse. She got over it pretty quick.

The Night Before Christmas

Great anticipation as usual the night before Christmas. The girls made stockings for their Maplelea dolls this year. We are running out of room on the railing. Good thing we didn't have stockings for the chickens.

School Christmas Concert

This year's Christmas Concert was during the afternoon and I was unable to go because of work. Todd was able to go and video tape it. Looked like fun. I am sorry I missed it. Thank goodness for technology.

Snowing

Finally another snow fall has come. It was dinner time but we let the girls play as we did not know how long the snow would last.
