Christmas

The most important thing to do on Christmas Eve......is to be with family. Nothing else matters to me..........nothing. My daughter and son in-law, as they have for the past several years, did a great job hosting the Christmas Eve get-together in their home, the Annie Mansion.

Princess Fartknocker was beside herself........anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus.

There was an ample food supply and tons of treats........everything tasted great.

Christmas is all about the kids though.............my kids have grown up and now its all about the grandkids.

Princess Fartknocker danced with her Uncle "Dexter".

Ever seen one of these?

As I said before.......more than enough food.

We all gathered together to do a gift exchange. My daughter Noodle, who lives near Austin, Texas......was there too!.........by way of webcam. That's her on the laptop. We set the laptop so that she could see what we were doing and we could see and speak to her. Imagine that!

There were no sad faces to be had........everyone was happy........happy.....happy.

As the night passed by all too quickly, Princess Fartknocker put her pajamas on and set out the milk and cookies for Santa. By the look on her face, she was in heaven already.............and off she went to bed.

I am sure that Santa did not forget her or her brother, Joe Flacco.........hehehe.
