Christmas morning is always a fun whirlwind at our house.  Family members gathering, sleepy-eyed, for gift opening, the traditional pancakes, and of course the choclate covered cherries that someone always gets for me (yum! This year from my son)  I'm not sure who enjoys it more, the humans opening gifts, or the doggies playing in the scattered tissue!

This year was no exception.  This is one morning that we can count on our family spending together, and I treasure this time - all of the season's work is done and now we can all exhale and relax, spend the day watching whatever new DVDs arrived under the tree, have a cat-nap if moved to do so, and snack ourselves silly throughout the day. 

Another Christmas Morning with the family to remember - Oh, and today was made even more special, as my kids pulled me into the 21st Century with my very first iPod!    I always keep up with technology, albeit if usually a decade or so late! 

Ollie is looking forward to New Year's!
