Christmas Eve

Christmas Joe! I love how he gets in the spirit! There is never a dull moment!


Josh, Ruby, Sharon and Lily came over for chowder. Lily wore beautiful Christmas pigtails!


Meet the Hinkeys. Nigel, Heather and kids Gabby, Willy and Sarah. They just moved here from Portland. They brought much Christmas cheer to the evening. :)



Here are the boys putting out milk and cookies for Santa. The carrots are for the reindeer. Chase is on the verge of not believing in Santa. If he does not believe now he is not letting us know and that is fine with me. My parents never told me there was no Santa. I was just told "if you don't believe you don't receive". I did not want him to count the carrots in the fridge so I decided to throw them over the back fence, a little Christmas treat for the wildlife. Well it totally backfired on me when two got caught in the trees! I tried everything to knock them down. So at Christmas dinner we were all talking about what a rough night Santa must have had. I said, "I know he was hurry when he left here. He drove off so fast that the reindeer dropped their carrots." He fell for it!
