Christmas morning is always a special time. Before the kids can come down the stairs Bob turns on all the Christmas lights and lights the fireplace and makes sure everything is just right. This is a tradition that my dad did when I was a kid. It used to drive all of us nuts because he would "tinker" around and take his sweet time just to highten the suspense. We just had to carry on with that one.
Bob really surprised me this Christmas with a most unusual gift. He gave me chickens! Yes, that's right,8 baby chicks. He definitely got points for being creative. We had been talking about getting chickens for a couple of years. He said that he and Tanner will build a chicken coupe on the side of the house. They really are cute. But I think Mugs thinks they were for her. She sat guard over them all day long. She wouldn't let Pixie or the cats anywhere near them. She is such a "Mama".
The kids were pretty excited about getting tickets to "The Lion King" and "Wicked" musicals. Bob & I have seen both of them and the kids have always wanted to see them. Lion King is in January, but they will have to wait 'til July for Wicked.
Even Pixie got her Christmas presents. Hey, what can I say...
