a merry and bright christmas

a few highlights from our wonderful christmas day full of peace, joy, and good cheer.

rose patiently awaits under the tree for her gift



keiko simply couldn't wait to open her gift, so she climbed into the bag...



oreo really enjoying his cat-nip treat... soon after it was a bit chaotic around here.... just one tree ornament broken this go around :-0!!

after a large brunch, we decided to take an afternoon walk through the vineyards at nearby grove winery, then on down to the haw river. our friend pam, who works at the winery, will be joining us for christmas dinner this evening...
