Merry Christmas!

Murphy loves his new hat. He get all excited when you put a hat on him. Thinks he is all that. Then run for a treat. I had the hat out tonight and he kept nudging my hand to put it back on him.

Tanner could care less. He kept flipping the hat over his back. I finally got him to wear it long enough to get a picture.

We bought this nutcracker when we went to The Nutcracker At The Mansion a couple of weeks ago. I love the Hershey kisses on his feet. At least he isn't scarey looking like some of them. We also saw a mouse one that we really liked.

A friend of Jeff from work made these for us a couple of years ago. I love how the fork tines form Santa's beard. The handles turn back to form the hooks to hang them with.

I was trying to take a picture of Tanner and he moved. I like how the Christmas tree lights look like colored lightning. Or electricity. I think it would make an interesting puzzle.
Today was productive. I baked a ham. made truffles and dog treats. Also vacumned and wrapped a couple of gifts.
Jeff had ham, mashed potatoes, veggies ready for him when he got home from work. I decorated the kitchen table and had candles lit. I told him that that was our Christmas meal as it is hard for him when we eat at gatherings. He has to be gluten free. Mom usually makes him plain chicken or buys a gluten free ham. But for Thanksgiving she made chicken and  forgot to take his with her when she left home. She felt so bad. She doesn't have to do this of course. She knows that but likes to make sure that she makes something for him. I always make things to bring that he can eat so he didn't go hungry. lol. Jeff is the type that he made sure that mom knew that he wasn't upset. He felt bad that she was worried about it. We are renting a building at the school again. Small outbuilding that they use for scout meetings, etc. Works out great for us.
I hope everyone has a great Christmas and very Happy and Healthy New Year.  Hugs, Teresa
