The Day After Christmas

The day dawn with a fresh dusting of heavy slushy snow. Poor Hubby was dispatched to clear the drive, while I prepared the house for my daughter’s visit. I was so excited about it and I could hardly wait to show her the puppies. Today their little eyes opened wide for the very first time. Little Anya, picked her head up and looked me square in the eye, and I had to laugh, as she looks so much like Greta when she does this.

I finished getting packages wrapped and lunch ready, when Mandy arrived. We all sat down for Fondue and then we opened presents. I got so many wonderful things from a dachshunds calendar, to a couple of new turtlenecks, to a singing snowman set, to an electric lighted church with skaters out in front. It plays a series of Christmas carols in a beautiful music box fashion.

I love this and I can see it becoming the centerpiece of my Christmas decorations for many years to come! Mandy also made me the most awesome gift basket with Christmas tree ornaments, stocking holders, The singing Snowmen and potpourri.

After we finished opening gifts, we played with the puppies! Mandy really fell for them and if I turned around and I couldn’t find her, all I had to do was look and she was in with the pups!

The puppies really love to be held, and now that their eyes are open they are so interested in who has them. Of course they are still small so their awake time isn’t too long and then they are back asleep.

Our dinner meal was fresh Maine Lobster, corn on the cob and boiled potatoes, with a Yule Log for dessert. Yum!

The day ended all too soon, and Mandy packed up her car, and hit the road. What a great day. I really enjoyed having her here and look forward to her coming back.
