A white Christmas, finally. And what a Christmas it was, complete with a visit from Santa Kelly. Bur first, the stockings.  All the frantic knitting paid off. Just about everything fit:

Buddy loved the presents under the tree. The wrapping made such a delightful crackling sound as he pawed back and forth all over them.

I do love stuffed animals.

Happy with his gifts.

After stockings, before presents, we took Illy for a walk.

I didn’t get a picture of Santa Kelly, but she arrived midday with Aaron’s big present, a ridiculous 25″ monitor I had shipped to her house so he wouldn’t be tipped off. Thanks for the hand-delivery, Kelly!

After presents galore, Aaron’s dad came over, with Casey.

Lunch/dinner was cornish hens with roasted vegetables and cornbread, with banana pudding for dessert. A family favorite, apparently.

My big gift was the Breville BES820XL – espresso from heaven.

Ignore the fingerprints, please.

I hope you and yours also had a very merry, holly jolly.
