We had a wonderful, albeit quiet, holiday by ourselves this year. It did start a bit earlier than planned, when Annabel awoke at 3:28am and just couldn't manage to get herself back to sleep. She was a bit bleary-eyed throughout the day:
Still, the special gifts from family & friends made everyone feel just a little bit warmer and closer. For instance, we all enjoyed learning more about my Dad's childhood memories at his home in Scarborough and at camp near Bodfish with special books that he wrote & illustrated for us:
The kids got in on the action as well, bestowing on us gifts secretly made in the shop. Here's a couple of battleships they made for Jordan with items found here and there:
We have dubbed this year "Camo Christmas," as Thane received more than his fair share of his very favorite material. He was more than happy to corral it all in his new pup tent, a gift from Jordan's folks. Thank goodness this was one of the last presents he opened, as Thane immediately squirreled himself inside and almost refused to come out to open more gifts.
Annabel was thrilled with her decidedly more feminine gifts, and she always appreciates getting more arts & crafts supplies:
Merry Christmas from the Lentz!
