Larry arrived Saturday and we feasted on slow cooked ham, green beans, potato salad & cucumber onion salad! There were a few adult beverages enjoyed as we watched the floofy boys run circles around the living room!

As hunting season is upon us, and as Tyrannosaurus Rex has a huge white flag for a tail, he has to wear his day-glo orange vest on walkies!

Once the tree was trimmed we settled in for chili with all the fixings, at which point Chris Baldwin & Jennifer arrived. Baldwin will henceforrh be known as our christmas “Edward”…. (After a few years of tree trimming at moms, her gentleman caller Ed began showing up to “help” later & later – finally arriving just as we popped the champagne pre-chili! )
