Christmas Joy

A magical time for sure.  Special to most all of us for different reasons.  Hope this one lived up to all your expectations. 


Louis continues to dazzle us.

We had a great day, ending up with the horses joining in at Travis & Kim's.

 Shadow, the devil cat dropped by.
It was raining, so we settled for photos in the barn.
 
Cousin Jordan & Louis after the gift opening and before the official feasting, which seemed to go on all day.

So now comes the quiet time before we get back on a plane to Florida.  For me, Christmas joy is when  it's over and the days get longer until June 21st.  But then Christmas is for the young; old fart atheists tend to view it differently.

Stay Merry
