...was.... fun, busy, tiring, enjoyable, filling (from so much yummy food)...
I always love giving so I really enjoy Christmas, but I had been working fairly hard on the dollhouse... and at work, the doll house had consumed my mental and physical energy for so long leading up to Christmas, it was a huge release when I had it completed. It has gone to a good place with my Niece, who seemed completely overwhelmed by it! I was so happy with how it turned out, and keeping with tradition, I was still working on it around midnight of Christmas eve.
Here are some pictures, and some reminders of post reno's. Followed by lots and lots of pictures of Christmas day - hey I'm a photographer, thats what I do!

First stop - my brothers before we head to lunch with jon's family...

Bain recieved some great stuff from his Uncles, aunts, nannas, grandmas, and cousins - a sleeping bag, rocket thing, pogo stick, books, kite, hummer and remote control car... he's a very happy and lucky boy!
