Christmas 2016!!

Dinner and gifts on Christmas eve while Tiina and Ilse were still with us. It was good to have you visit, Tiina and Ilse!

 

 

 

Tiina and Ilse had to leave on Christmas Day to return home, but we continued the celebration after the church service!  

Initial gift selection is very important...

 So is being patient while others open...

Sage giving her best smile despite being sick with cough and fever.  Poor thing--but she did a great job being joyful, with a little help from some meds.

 Caught that golden moment!

More sweetness.

The sign of approval.  We made him read the books before seeing the movies :-)

Christmas is the kitties' favorite holiday, too.  

At least Annika was UNDER, and not IN the tree, like Mittens was earlier!

 Joint gifts are always a challenge...to whom does it really belong?

Budding theologians...

  Lego was a winner this year!

The aftermath...
