Merry Christmas

It's Christmas Eve and Lee is staying up to open her presents at midnight, I guess it's our new tradition now. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Christmas Tree

Charlie Brown O Christmas Tree I think Christmas is the most exciting time for Lee, of course she knew that Santa couldn't come down the chimney anymore. How could he when Max is guarding the tree.
