All that is left is the memories

I love Christmas. I love the colours and flavours, I love the joy of family celebrating together. In all the festivities, I think the dog, Sidney, enjoyed herself the most. She opened her gift with all the gusto of a three-year old.

Thanks Santa, just what I asked for.. a squirrel that can't climb a tree.

With Sydney occupied, the rest of us enjoyed making a mess

Sarah, are you sure that is cranberry juice you are drinking?

ewwww, do I have to eat this?

Wearing the Christmas hat is not an option...

Emily and Matthew, Emily... no Ipod at the table!!

Is your hat too big Jacob?

More presents please...

I am so sad, Christmas is over..... I had a lot of fun, so much food, so many people to play with and now, it is over, everyone is gone.
