Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have had a fabulous festive season so far and that the Santa-man has been good to you!  Dave and I had a very quiet day today.  We didn't do gifts or even a big meal this year.  Just relaxed and did not much of anything.  We were going to take our friends Ross & Mary out for some dives and a lazy day on the boat but the cyclone that is up north of us is causing a little havoc with the winds and they didn't die off early enough for us to get out to where we wanted to go.

I put the time to good use by catching up on some housework and tackling my office which was once again out of control




I still have far too much stuff, of course, but at least I have a floor (as ugly as it may be), a desk and a couch now!

Dave got a little football for Dora and she had a great, if not so coordinated, time playing with it in the living room. Not really the best choice since we have two huge Ridgebacks, but they didn't destroy anything so it worked out.



MatildaLily was pretty patient waiting for Dora to give it up

Til knew that Dora would grow bored eventually so bided her time


until she could grab it and destroy it!





Dora wasn't happy about her new toy being decimated

Please, Mom, can't you make her stop?

And then there was peace


We hope that each of you is having a wonderful holiday season no matter how you choose to celebrate!
