Happy Christmas Eve!

READY OR NOT it’s Christmas Eve!!  Does Little A. look happy or what?  His very first opened
Christmas present today, coming from our wonderful next door neighbour, an adorable golden
retriever puppy!  Oh, he was absolutely overjoyed to unwrap him and hasn’t stopped playing with
the little guy since.  This is just the tip of the iceberg… this afternoon we are going to Nana’s for
a family Christmas Eve dinner and more presents!  And of course, waking up tomorrow morning
to finally be able to get to the Christmas tree (which as you can see is in our solarium, behind glass
doors!) – What a Christmas morning it will be!

I’m so excited that Christmas is here.  Leave all of your cares behind and enjoy time with your family,
your friends, relaxing, eating good food, sharing laughter, memories and lots of love!

Have a very Happy Christmas weekend, my Dear Friends.
