Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.

It was a whirl-wind here, a wonderful time,

and we are all ready to hunker down

and enjoy some quiet.

All but little Cora.

She is ready for anything...anytime.

I've been busy caring for the wildlife on our property.

We are feeding many types of birds, squirrels, raccoons and a one lone fox daily.

And we finally have our wood-stove up and running. :-)

All the snow you see here...well, it's gone now.

But we did have a white Christmas.

Family arrived at 3 and we enjoyed a Christmas feast together.

These three are mine. :)))

The Night Before Christmas 

was read by the little ones before 

the best part (they think).

Presents!

Our gift opening was in our little loft. 

Everyone had a great time

and may I say that I am one spoiled mom.

So many lovely things and...

Tickets to see James Taylor and Bonne Raitt.

If I was looking forward to spring before now it can't come fast enough.

Once the little ones wore themselves out racing around and

playing with their flying squirrel stuffies

it was time to say 

"So long, Santa"

for another year.

That's it in a chocolate-covered nut-shell.

It was a fabulous first Christmas in our new home.

I hope everyone is enjoying a peaceful time 

while we wait to ring in the new year.

I'm heading over to visit many of you.

"Enjoy the holidays everyone."

Love 

Deb, Gary, Annie, Wilson & baby Cora.
