48 Hours of Fun

We had a pretty busy 2 days, Christmas Eve
and Christmas Day.


Annie started eating
the blue decorations on her blue tree.
Blueberry candy canes
are just wrong!

Royanne took the container of Santa's cookies off of the
island, took them behind Bruec's chair, under the
table, and had a few. I remember my brother
used to crawl under mom's bed and rob the
shoe boxes full of homemade fudge and
pralines. If she didn't check on them, there was
a good chance there'd be very little on
Christmas.

Bruce and Annie mixing a snack
for Santa's reindeer:
a mixture of oats

and extra energy flying dust (gold glitter).

Tasting the snowflakes!
Yes, we got a few flakes for a bit.

Setting the reindeer snack on the wall, where the
reindeer would be sure to see it sparkling.

Adding some corn to the snack for the
reindeer was Grandma's idea. Later, when we read
"'Twas The Night Before Christmas,"
Royanne ate the rest of the can of corn.

Showing what was ready for Santa!

Singing "Jingle Bells" and snacking.



CHRISTMAS DAY

Squealing with delight about her tent
from Uncle Darrell & Aunt Tammy.

She loved her little flute.
She likes to watch "Jack's Big Music Show".

I mostly took video this year. Now I am kinda
sorry: not many pics to look at.



Later on in the day, we went to Craig and Kay's.
My cousin, as artist, used the following picture
to airbrush a picture for Bruce for
Christmas using her computer.
I gave it to him when we were with
18 people at Kay's.

She plowed through many pictures,
trying to find one head-on & with other
good aspects that she could incorporate into
another background. Turns out she wanted
to use this one.

Very impressive, the outcome.



After 7pm we went to Bruce's cousins' house,
where there were about 18 more people!
Royanne had her silky and everyone
learned about the love affair she has
with it, how she won't accept polyester material
of any kind, only the real McCoy.


Rachel went and got a satin
pillow slip that was their grandma's, -Royanne's
great-grandmother's,- and gave it to her.
Royanne was very appreciative!
The only rule is, it stays in her bed.
