Christmas in the Rock

We all worked hard to get all the trees up and decorated even as Hattie thought it was a

new toy to climb.

No matter how hard we tried, she continued to climb.

We finally decorated the tree and hung our stockings by the chimney.

Hattie and Simon each found a little place to call their own.

Hattie continued to climb the tree not letting ornaments slow her down,

Simon preferred the soft blanket beneath the tree,

and Sebastian preferred to be completely away from all this mess.

Our Christmas was a simple one this year.

We elected to stay at home and celebrate rather

than travel.  I think the

kids enjoyed it much better.

Traveling is fun but there really is no

place like home!

I confess that this truly was one of our best Christmases!
