A fabulous Christmas

We had such a great Christmas that we only took three photos the entire day!  Imagine that!?

We were so excited about the gift that we got my dad this year.  My folks still have a few horses in the barn where we grew up.  Living in Michigan, the winters are COLD and things FREEZE.....like water buckets in the barn.  Breaking water buckets in the winter SUCKS!

Well, as it turns out, they now make heated water buckets.  So, we ended up getting a few for my dad - what do you get for a guy who has everything?! 

These were a HUGE hit!! 

Happy?  I KNOW so!

Hope yours was enjoyable and spent with those you love!

We Wish You A Merry Christmas...

And hope that you had a Wonderful Christmas Day with your family and friends.

We sure did!
As I mentioned earlier, we ended up cancelling our Christmas Eve Dinner because of the drizzle and freezing rain. Well, something that sealed the deal that we made the right decision, a little after 6 pm on Christmas Eve, just as we were wrapping Christmas gifts, the power went out.
So, we enjoyed the better part of Christmas Eve by candlelight.

Yep, there's a first time for everything - and this year it was wrapping gifts by firelight & candlelight. Something about candlelight that seems to make everything a bit more magical!

Glen and I exchanged gifts Christmas morning - We'll be taking a cooking class at a neat new store up the street from where we live this winter. We're both looking forward to a neat new meal. We stopped at Glen's mom & dad's to celebrate with them and Glen's brother Rick who came into town from Indy yesterday morning. From there we went to my mom & dad's for dinner with them, my cousin Eric, John and my Great Aunt and Uncle. Lastly we stopped at Glen's Uncle Stash & Aunt Mary's house to do a bit of 'entire' family celebrating.
We were so spoiled by our families and each other - so blessed that we were able to share the holiday with our family and friends.
We did both have to laugh when we got home about 1:20 this morning. Each year the 'kids' get a cardboard picking post that includes CATNIP. This year was no different, and we both joked before leaving home yesterday morning that this year's box would need to be used with adult supervision only. But we gave the kids the benefit of the doubt, but knew ultimately what the outcome would be.....a picking post separated from the box it was supposed to be in and Catnip all over the carpet. You guessed it - we came home to two VERY HAPPY kitties and living room carpet that had been showered with catnip. Even this morning, they're both STILL rubbing & rolling all over the carpet.

We hope that you all enjoyed your holiday like we did.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and all the blessings & prosperity of the New Year!
