Here I am, decked out on Christmas Eve. Check out my shiny gold shoes.
Before going to bed, we opened a few special gifts. Shadow and I are thrilled to get a DVD copy of our favourite movie, Local Hero.
On Christmas morning, Lola enviously inspects the contents of our stockings. She and Shadow received some scrummy chewy treats--which didn't last long. That's why she's so interested in the people stuff!
Everyone hunts under the tree, picking out a gift for me to open.
Oh, joy! Flannel loungewear for the sheep lover. Check out Shadow's expression--she thinks I'm a wacko.
Lola is fascinated with my tea infuser spoon.
We had roast duck for dinner. My husband roasted it (exquisitely, I must add). I was responsible for all the side dishes.
For pudding I made my family's traditional holiday dessert.
Boxing Day was spent pleasantly tidying up and playing with new toys. A thunderstorm brought a ton of rain, and even some thunder and lightning in the morning. Overnight, the rain turned into heavy, wet snow, so this morning we woke to a frosted world.
This will be a productive week, I hope, before the next round of festivities. I've got a few meetings scheduled. And I'll be focussed on my website re-launch, set for December 31st. It's coming soon, but I'm not panicking. Yet!
