Good Morning and Welcome to Monday the 26th day of December, 2016.
The sun is peering out through the cold winter sky.
Another cold morning.
WOW, Christmas is over already.
I missed writing yesterday.
My kids and two new additions to the family arrived on Christmas Eve late afternoon.
One of the new additions had not as yet met us and we wanted to introduce Alvin to her on neutral ground.
They said that is always better.
So we took them for a walk until Mr. Alvin’s paws were cold and we had to retreat to the house.
I will say that Alvin did pretty good but definitely better day two.
Baby Milo was his energetic self.
Miss Aspen calmly investigated the house.
She is a beauty.
Milo and Aspen have the same colouring.
We spent the evening keeping an eye on the pups and eating.
Eating and eating.
Is that not what people do on Christmas Eve.
We watched a Christmas Movie and then opened gifts.
This Christmas we did not buy gifts but decided to choose something from our homes to give or make something from things around the house.
It worked out perfectly.
Everyone LOVED their gifts.
I definitely think this will be an ongoing tradition in our homes.
Yesterday was quiet but wonderful.
We got up ….. had breakfast ….. coffee…… relaxed.
Made the turkey …… had a short nap and it was time to get supper on the go.
We had a lovely supper ….. ate way too much.
The pups were starting to get settled (most especially Alvin).
Then it was all over.
The family left after supper.
Alvin and I just cleaned up and then I had a rum and EGG NOG with ice.
I will say it tasted way better than I remembered.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I watched the modern version of the “Miracle on 34th Street.”
Well here it is almost noon ……
Time to go and have a shower and freshen up.
I was looking around earlier and thinking that I would take the decorations down.
But will wait until tomorrow.
I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas.
We remembered our babies that left us last year and enjoyed making memories with the new ones.
Life is good when you are surrounded by family, love and “good food.”
Happy Boxing Day.
Special Hello to: all our Family and Friends.
Always, Carol and Alvin
The newest additions to our Family: Miss Aspen and Baby Milo.
Welcome babies to our Family.
