Christmas Eve x 2

I spent the day around the house working on the last of my handcrafted gifts. I've got just a couple more to complete, but that shouldn't be hard to do before lunch tomorrow.

We were visited by some turkeys in the afternoon. They came and snacked on the bird feed that the birds let fall to the snow.Dad went Christmas shopping in the morning, but came back in the early afternoon and set up the tree. I've got the lights and gold bead garland on and we'll put ornaments up after we pick up my sister tonight.

This is Smudge's first Christmas tree experience. So far she's just smacked at the branches a bit and got some running starts to slide into the tree skirt.

The next few days will be busy with celebrations and I'm so ready. I love being home and sharing in the giving with friends and family. I hope you are blessed with wonderful moments with your loved ones as well!
