| Returned from Christmas Eve children's service where Gabe sang and Lydia danced a Christmas ballet. |
 |
| Top hat, glow stick stars and a carnation for the ballerina came home with them. They are looking quite festive in the evening glow. |
 |
| Dr Dad |
 |
| Stitches coming out. |
 |
| My Marshal - portrait by Gabe |
 |
| Clothes from my closet and my hair down, my same look of over 20 years ago. |
 |
| Gingerbread made of dates, almond flour and spice, apricot bars, and coconut peppermint meltaways along with raw eggnog. |
 |
| Treats and a family game. |
 |
| A story before bedtime. They asked me to tell them The Christmas Story as detailed as I could recount as they lay in the darkness, tucked in for the night - the wonder and nitty-gritty reality of Christ's birth. |
 |
| New PJs |
 |
| Christmas morning, Tirza curled up against my leg. |
 |
| Children's Almanac from the stocking. Up just before dawn. |
 |
| Marshal found a Santa in his stocking. Kid creativity. |
 |
| Lydia is thrilled. |
 |
| Lydia has loved the Raggedy Ann story books from my childhood shelf. She has wanted a Raggedy of her own for years. |
 |
| Gabe's mohawk. Merino wool and I'm glad he can enjoy it without it being a semi-permanent -do. |
 |
| Another favorite hat. |
 |
| Sheba got her rawhide and wore herself out trying to gnaw it down to nothing in one morning. |
 |
| Cool gift |
 |
| Handmade friendship bracelets from Gabe and Lydia wrapped with love in my stocking. |
 |
| Tender roast beef and fresh horseradish sauce on Christmas Day. |
 |
| Lydia making use of her new drawing pencils from Grammy. |
