!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!

Merry Christmas! With little sleep to begin with, Wayne had to work this Christmas Day. 6 A.M. comes early, so a 4 o'clock Christmas morning comes even earlier. Having a late Christmas Eve, a howling windy night, John climbing into our bed because of "bad dreams", a drunk calling my cell phone at 3 A.M. and then Em getting up to wake us to say, "Mom's cell phone was ringing." And, the kids periodically waking us to ask, "Is it 4 A.M. yet?" Little sleep was to be had. That all said, it was a memorable Christmas morning. The kids and I did get back to sleep at 5:30,....that is, when the owl in our pine tree went to sleep as well.

Emily got a flower press.

John got his animals.

John thought this iconic photo was "way cool".

Wayne's self portrait.

AND....I'm only posting this because it's with my kids and figured being that because it was the middle of the night, my appearance would be forgiven.

Santa left John a Pogo Stick. I don't know what he was thinking.

Emily in her saucer chair Santa brought her.

The morning aftermath. ;) Merry Christmas!
