Once again, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Charlie and both children have been sick, so we ended up sticking with a quiet day at home. I sure enjoyed being with them for the day, Charlie's only day off for Christmas. Wyatt was the first up, and he and Shadow got us all going with their first round of fetch with her new toy. Wyatt read through all the sections of the nativity calendar with me.
It is always fun hanging around with all the animals here. The livestock love extra attention, and Shadow loves quiet days with family. We got to watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special, as well as some actual Christmas movies. Funny thing about the commercials today, there were a number of the ones where they talk about abused animals. Those commercials really upset Shadow, it seems like she knows what they are saying, and she wants reassurance and to cuddle with us. Sometimes I think she wants to bring them all home like we do. I couldn't blame her if she did.
Old man Vegas had his fur grow in rather funny after his last grooming. The fur over his ears is rather long, and the same on the tops of his feet, so the kids have taken to calling him elf dog.
All in all, days like today remind me how blessed we are here. We always have plenty, and we are a strong family that sticks together. Life does remind us that we are far from infallible, but we get back up and are so fortunate!
Over the next week, we will spend time reflecting on the year that was and setting goals for the year to come. I am still thankful that we get to learn and grow every day.
Love to all,
me
