Christmas Morning

Since we had a long Thanksgiving weekend up north and Don wanting to save his vacation time (he usually takes the week between Christmas and New years), we decided to stay home for Christmas this year. It was actually a very nice relaxing day. We opened presents for a few hours, went to Church and came home to play! I made a roast for dinner - it was a wonderful Christmas. Even though we did miss all our family and friends!!

Bell & Lina getting cookies and milk ready for Santa. They also left the reindeer foor and water on the porch.
Bell checking to see in the reindeer ate their food. Yes she insisted we should use the dogs bowls (and it turns out Lucky does like plain dry oatmeal!!).
Santa left our family a wounderful beautiflu Chriatmas morning. Below Austin is helping Bell read the note SAnta wrote thanking her for the milk, cookies and reindeer food. Santa laways left notes for Austin when he was little and we still have them all.
LIP BALM!!! Santa came through with lots of lip balm for Bell. It was the only thing she asked for. I will be reminding her of htat when she gets to be a teenager and her requests get really expensive!
And last, but certianly not least, Daddy got a Saints tie - yeah. He proceeded to wear it to church - it was a big hit :)
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
