Easy Christmas

 Christmas went munch better than I expected.  Tootie and Bubba made up a few days ago.  (I really don’t think he realized she was mad at him.)  We all agree, we don’t like his wife, but he appears to love her, so we’re making nice for his sake.  The baby may be coming any day now.  He’s getting really excited. Now Tootie and Cbaby are both sick.  I think that covers the gammit. 🙂
Because my sister was working Christmas morning, we really took it easy and didn’t do gifts.  (Cbaby officially no longer believes. 🙁  )  It was a frosty morning so the dogs and I went out to take some pictures.  Missy is doing really bad.  If I had the choice, I’d take her to be put to sleep.  She’s pitiful looking.  She made the walk with me, though.  I stayed slow moving and stopped a lot.  She still had trouble. She also slid down the clif to the creek at one point.  That’s when I headed back.  My parents, Tootie, Cbaby, and I ate around noon.  Bubba, Lacy, and Angel showed up around 2 and my sister got home around 3.  We had an insane mad dash of present opening.  (They had to leave at 4 to bring her to her dad.) I took a couple of pictures, but they didn’t end up very good.  Angel was literally ripping open anything she could get her hands on. lol  A few of us ended up with gifts that we have no idea who gave them to us because the paper was flying. (She’s 3 months shy of being 3 years old.) Everyone got along well, no fighting, no bickering, no hiding out to avoid each other.  All that’s unusual for one of our family Christmases. Cbaby is supposed to come over Sunday and stay 3 or 4 days.  Bubba and Lacy are at the doctor today.  We’ll know how things are going after that appointment.  In the meantime, some random shots, first of the Louisiana version of a white Christmas then of the family (including the furbies).

The creek behind the house.  The overlook here is where Missy almost slid down.  It’s only about 10 feet, but I was worried she’d get hurt.

Best shot I got of Missy all day.  I wouldn’t torture her too much.  She hates pictures so much.

Bear right before he knocked me on my butt. lol Awe!  I just realized you see Missy behind him.  It took her so long to catch up.  That was when I realized she’d followed me back there.

I brought this Christmas cactus to my mom several years ago.  I thought it was too late.  This is what she can get it to do. 🙂

I got this for my mom’s village a few years ago.  Cbaby always loved it.  Angel discovered it yesterday, so now I"m trying to find one for her. 

Ignore the blurry, I was trying to pass out gifts and just snapped this one.  Angel is on the floor opening gifts.  She opened the box of Minnie Mouse pjs I gave her.  She kept playing with the box (that had a snowman on it) and didn’t open the pjs.  That led to a shredded box and then more squeals. 😀  That’s Bubba and Lacy in the background.  Cbaby is sitting next to Lacy and has a stack of presents so high you couldn’t see her.
