Christmas 2011 was lovely, and technology made it so much easier.

With phones, and FaceTime I was able to be part of my family’s Christmases. It was such a treat to see our niece open her gift from us and to see how excited she was!

The weather was perfect. We got the perfect kind of Christmas snow covering. All the spruce trees were covered in snow, the ground is covered, there were deer tracks (or were they reindeer??) across the front lawn.

Here is our Christmas view:

Awesome Christmas socks my sister gave me. They have rubber monkeys on the bottom for grips!

Monty was so tuckered out after Christmas. He is like a little kid on Christmas morning, so excited! He wants to help open all the gifts and sniff them all over. Yes, he even had his own stocking 🙂

Today it is milder and the snow is turning to rain. Jeff just plowed off the driveway so we can get it back down to gravel as it melts. +10 and rain on the way for Wednesday!
