On the 3rd Day of Christmas

Our Christmas Day

What kinds of things do you do on Christmas day? Do you wear matching pajamas? Eat a special breakfast? Travel?
We start the morning with Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing.
Yum!
With hot tea, of course!
Then we open presents.

This year a sabertooth tiger joined in on the fun! (giggles)

All our presents fit the 1-1-1-1 rules.
You know, need, want, wear, read.
Need: watch, new leash and collar for Meatloaf, backpack.

Want: Grace got her very own doll. Welcome Luciana!

Lady Grey sent a great game bag! Who's up for Boggle?

Flo and the Say hello to My Little Friends gang sent a great radio and adorable guinea pig.

Wear: a great new tee shirt.

Read: a space book and Luciana's meet book.
Then we go over to Nana Kestrel's. Look who we found there!

And from there to Great Aunt Bets. Great food, family, and fun!

Best wishes,

On the 2nd day of Christmas

Greetings and Salutations!

We're very sorry we left you hanging this year around Christmas! 
Usually we are so very on top of things, but this year...
All our busy-ness was good though.
Happy and filled with friends and family.
We hope your Christmas was too!

A Team of Elves

You know how much we love to decorate Xyra's office.
So many great scenes to set.
And always just a little different.
This year is no different.
Here we are sorting out tasks!

Grace, Melody, and I took the big tree!

We had stars and pine cones to add this year.

I got to put the angel on top.

So pretty!

Lea and I took the reception tree. 

Teamwork is key.

And color coordination. (giggles)

It turned out quite nice.

Haley and I failed. (pouts)
Not entirely!
Dude, we have two small trees and the lights aren't even on.
I know, but we were planning our set and ran out of time. We can finish before Twelfth Night.
Okay.

Do you decorate early in the season or on Christmas Eve? Have you ever continued to decorate after Christmas? 

Best wishes!

December 8 9 10 11 of 24

Quick Views

We are still trying to catch up! 
It's amazing how a little things can totally derail plans. 
So here are quick glimpses of what we found behind the doors for December 8, 9, 10, and 11.
We found some fun items.

December 8

Oh no! I can't find my kitty photo. Oh well, it was cute. You'll have to take my word for it. (sighs) Now behind our Mega Construx door is an easy build, but very appropriate for us...two tea cups and a lantern.

Here's a close up. (gasps and giggles) There are my kitties too...see in the background! 

December 9

Oh, this is fun! Behind door number 10 I spy two puppies trying to play with a kitten who is trying to nap. Look out pups! AND I built a park clock.

Closer look at both. Enjoy!

December 10

Hi! So on December 11 both door hold items with blades or runners. I got to build this tiny sled.

And the two kitties are ice skating.

Great theme day! (giggles)

December 11

Okay, so my build is kind of like Grace's on December 9; two items complete and one in pieces. In my case, the blue teddy needed to have his head attached.

And like Kaya I spy to pups trying to play with a kitty in a flower pot. Not sure that is a good idea.

I'm not sure if we will have more quick glimpses tomorrow or if tree decorating is on the agenda. Please stay tuned!
And if we've made any mistakes in our post today, we'll correct them soon. 😕😟😂💖

Best wishes,
