The ho-ho-holiday is officially here! NORAD has been tracking Santa’s travels around the globe all night! Below is their photo of his departure from the North Pole!

The amaryllis that Cousin Larry and Shea gave us burst into bloom on Christmas eve! As Santa flew around the globe!

We loaded up the boys & wandered over to Josh & Mels for an utterly decadent brunch at 11am. We had fresh baked cinnamon rolls, 3 types of quiche, sausage links, fresh fruit, and mimosa’s! Before food coma set in we opened presents as our pupsters ran around the great room playing with Stella! Madness & magical mayhem ensued!

Football games were watched while Jack & I painted his little nutcracker!

Juliette & Olivia Rose arrived around two and more presents were opened! Then it was time for the feast -and such a feast it was! Smoked prime rib, succulent ham, mac n cheese, roasted brussel sprouts, green beans, meatballs, mashed potatoes, and rolls!

Another lovely Holly Jolly celebration in the books! Back home to delicious meade from Buzzed Bee and watching It’s A Wonderful Life with pupsters sleeping in our laps! Life Is Good!

Gorgeous Santa art by Tacitus Kilgore over at Counter.Social . He is the artist who created my new camper decor!

Remember in the end, nobody wins unless everybody wins!
