Christmas Eve was lots of fun. We went over to my brother Matthew and his wife Emily's house for our Christmas Eve festivities. Every person,including the children were supposed to bring something for a "potluck" dinner. So it was fun, and very eclectic. My children chose to bring Funyons and Cheeze its, if that gives you any idea of the offerings. After dinner we had a Christmas program about the birth of Christ and the children performed. It was lovely. Then we opened up our new Christmas jammies.
The next morning we opened presents and generally sat around as the weather was horrible! It poured all day and was very cold and windy. I felt bad that the dogs had to go out periodically. There were so many dogs there. Our two, Christy's two, Maury's one, David and Jenna's 2 and my Mom and Dad's dog. There was definitely a pack going on. Our little Bichon, Belle thought she was tough and tried to take on my parent's Rottweiler. It is a good thing Charlie is a sweet dog and doesn't know she is a Rottweiler.
Alyssa received a new big girl bike from Santa and Curtis a new fancy Bionicle. We left a letter for Santa, telling where we would be. I guess he found us.
To be continued.....
What a lovely time we had! Still wish Alyssa were here riding her new big girl bike from the dining room to the kitchen; and that Curtis with eyes flashing with excitement while explaining how the new bioncle works and what it does were doing the the same. Thank you for coming; now that everyone has gone the weather is lovely. Of course. Charlie is somewhat wallowing in being the only dog, once again. Love, mom
