Our Christmas

Here is Henry under the Christmas Tree. Is he looking at the presents?
Is he trying to find his gifts? No...

He is pulling out Grandma's Cat that hides whenever my kids come over. That big wall of presents that surrounded the tree looked like it might keep the little guys away but not the determined Henry.
The patient cat actually sat and let Henry pet her.
She even let Sophie hold her for a bit.

Christmas Morning came at last! Sophie was thrilled that her wish was granted and she got her Vmigo cat.
Henry loved his new Guitar.
Here is Ian using his new Bob the builder measuring tape to measure logs out in the field. His pockets were stuffed with all his new Bob tools.
Bonfires are becoming a tradition. Every time we head up to Grandpa's house he prepares a few big piles of dried branches so all the men can get outside and play at being pyros.
Henry was especially helpful in loading the wheelbarrow with the logs for the fireplace.
Here is Ian in his cowboy attire. He is almost always in this get-up. He loves his cowboy boots and vest. They look more normal at Grandpa's house then at our house in the city.
We all had a great time hanging out with Aunts, Uncles, cousins and the cows. They loved feeding the cows some corn and hearing them Moo.
The neighbors horse also go a little of the corn.

We certainly had a great time and had a very good Christmas. Hope yours was as well!

Sounds like the good old Christmas's I had in Snowflake years ago. Maybe it's the horses. Good times!

Merry Christmas

That pic of Henry unfer the tree is priceless. I would love that as the front of next year's Christmas cards.

What is it with men and fire?
