| Scenes from our Christmas celebrations for
      2010. | |
|  |  | 
| Here Rocket enjoys one of my gifts from Dan & Rose before I get the chance to open it. | Eric wanted it noted that knew how to "bow it up" when he wrapped
  a gift. | 
|  |  | 
| Here I am with my big pile of birthday gifts - 41 this year! | Keith making up part of the audience for the gift opening. | 
|  |  | 
| Gran looks on as well. | I was given all kinds of nice things, they spoil me. | 
|  |  | 
| Speaking of spoiled, here Desirae holds Prisser, the princess of the KB Ranch. | And this is the princess of the Morton house, although usually royalty smells a bit better than our sweet Long Dog. | 
|  |  | 
| A shot of the driveway and the "Morton Lane" sign Desirae gave them. | Here Dad plays a joke on me.  I had asked for a piece of pipe 6" X
  36". He said, "You said you wanted a 6 foot pipe!" Thankfully he produced the other pipe shortly afterward. | 
|  | Here I finally get to enjoy the sweet (but skittish) Waldo. | 
|   The rolls went a little crazy during the rising time - they were huge! |  | 
| Sisters - I won the sister lottery, that's for sure. | |
|  |  | 
| Morton women in front of Mom's beautiful Christmas centerpiece. | Here we'll take a tour of the big piles of gifts. This is Mom's. | 
|  |  | 
| Keith, next to his pile. | Desirae, barely visible behind hers. | 
|  |  | 
| Gran, ready to get going. | Me with mine. Dad didn't want to be included, but you get the idea. | 
|  |  | 
| Gift highlights: Sock Monkey | Lovely & very practical hat | 
|  |  | 
| Custom, hand-made burger flipper (courtesy of Keith) | New tackle box | 
|  |  | 
| Back at home, Rocket checks out the new skunk toy from Mom. | And also the new fish toy. Feisty kept sticking her paw in there. | 
|  |  | 
| Eric sports his own lovely & very practical hat | The cats enjoyed the wrapping paper most of all. | 
|  |  | 
| Feisty prepares to pounce | Time to relax after all the hub-bub.  They are finally learning to sit on our laps. | 
|  | |
| Here I get a lot of help taking down the tree. They were great supervisors. | |
| Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you Jesus!!! | |
