Merry Christmas

Tree time

We did this way back on the 1st of december but I have not been in the blogging mood. I have read three books so far this month so I used up my free time doing that :)

The annual "we are buying a Christmas tree" family photo.

We ran out of lights toward the bottom, but since then have fixed that problem.
Old St. Nick is the newest addition to our tree
there are so many ornaments on our tree that have a special meaning to the D 3, and here is just one of them.....a red leaf ;)
I must go inhale the pine now!

Meeting the man in Red.

We took little D to Disneyland to meet Santa Clause. It was his first time meeting the big man himself, and while we waited patiently in his log cabin (the fire was blazing and his puppy slept on the hearth in front of it, and there was tables of pastries and cookies that Mrs. Clause had laid out for her Mr.) Liam was excited to meet him. He was pointing and jabbering away but as soon as we approached him Liam turned into a frightened little guy so this is as close as we got to having him on S's lap.

Santa is so handsome, check out those rosy cheeks.

and yes his reindeer are there! It was remarkable how beautiful reindeer actually are and these guys were no exception.
Prancer
Blitzen ( he has always been my favorite, please note how modest he is)
and some of their delish cherries and oats, Santa feeds them well.
We hope Santa is very good to all of you this year!
