We had a very quiet christmas, just me and John and the cats... I
decided to take lots of photos since we didn't have anywhere
particular to go or anything we HAD to do...

On Christmas Eve we went to church for the carol service (yes that's
me on the left helping lead):

Then we went to look at christmas lights (sadly my camera can't handle
photographing them because I don't have a tripod) and we had a nice
dinner at Smokeybones... then it was home to relax and enjoy our quiet
little Christmas together. :)

We slept in on Christmas morning and took our time... first we gave
the girls their Christmas stocking, sprinkled with catnip to keep them
happy...

Tessica grabbed her new toy and ran, and didn't stop running for an
hour!

When the girls had finished playing and gone off to rest, John and I
exchanged our christmas stockings and small gifts (we got the big ones
well before christmas)

And then John relaxed while I cooked our Christmas dinner, and
eventually it was time to eat. John carved the turkey...

This is my plate of goodness... I didn't have the makings for gravy
(the turkey didn't have any fat ON it! and I like to cook my poultry
in a water-bath for moistness), so I use the pan juice to moisten my
plate.

While we relaxed in the bedroom, the girls cadged some of my turkey
that I couldn't finish...

We nibbled on our 'dessert' at  suppertime because we were too stuffed
to want to eat anything else before then - a sour cream apple pie
topped with a pecan/coconut crumble topping (blonde because we didn't
have any brown sugar), and a plate of rumballs.

And here's our fridge bursting with leftovers next day... anyone want
to come pay a visit and help us eat them? :P

There are a lot more photos in the album, should you choose to view
them -  http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/555406681VAmKfu

PS. I put all my Christmas cards at the end of this album, including a
bunch I made last week. The only ones that didn't make it in were the
dozen last-minute ones I had to make when I realised I was short a
few!
