Christmas Day 2006

This morning Tim, Andi and Charlotte came to visit us first. Charlotte brought her kitty with her. Kitty had come from Santa. Kitty was not a real cat as Charlotte's Mum and Dad had told her that she wasn't able to have a real kitty as it would make Daddy sneeze all the time. She told them, then maybe Santa could bring her a parrot! Finally Charlotte agreed that a toy kitty would be fine, so here she is displaying kitty in all its glory.

We played and talked for a while until Ben and Josée came withTegan to visit us. We shared stocking stuffer time, unwrapping one gift at a time to appreciate what the others had. Cynthia and I did well getting a toy water cooler from Ben and Josée along with a Sudoku machine which has 2 000 000 Sudoku games programmed into it. I think I will be dead or blind before I ever get anywhere near solving those!

Later in the day, and after lunch, Ben, Josée, Tegan and we went to Kye Bay for a walk. The wind was at our backs as we set out. Coming back it made our eyes tear up and brought roses to our cheeks. We enjoyed it but were glad to get home to the warmth of our wood stove.

Later in the evening, Jean and Ron Joined us for Christmas Dinner. Ben and Josée also came back for the meal too. We ate like kings and queens at the table Cynthia had prepared for us. The meal was beautiful. After dinner we played different games for a few hours, then the guests went home. It had been a wonderful day packed with heartwarming experiences. Thank You Lord for Your goodness to us and the blessings You pour out upon us.
