A wonderfully quiet, laid-back day, with gifts, breakfast and a brisk walk around Rockland Lake.
Santa brought Sam a robot!
Hunna wins the wrapping contest once again. Just gorgeous!
Hunna, Sam, Boo. Post-present relaxation.
Sondra and Leigh join us for breakfast.
And some more gift-giving.
My gorgeous prezzie! New tumblers.
Breakfast strata (recipe here).
A lovely day for a walk round the lake.
Sam and Boo.
Bleak midwinter sunset.
Late-winter light.
Sam made it all the way ’round!
Playing with a gift from the Sister Outpost… a Learn to Draw book:
And, that evening, the tree came down.
A big job, but that sucker was a powder keg. One ember from the fire and we would have been toast.
Apres-tree, an Old Fashioned in our new tumblers!
And a still life of Christmas presents.
Red candlesticks for Hunna, glasses and a star for me.
Samantha got an aquarium for some new fish (coming soon!), lots of puzzles, some cool ornaments, a stencil set, a necklace and a set of Dominos from Grammy and LeighLo…. and lots of other great stuff!
Merry Christmas!
