. Max is heading back to Santa Fe early tomorrow so We chose to celebrate our family Christmas early this year. It was a gray lazy day. I’m proud to say that it’s almost 10 pm and all of us are still in our pajamas .

the dogs are as in to Christmas as we are ..

Chai always finds her stocking . Not sure how she does it .. Kota almost like she can read !

Here we are all looking sleepy and santalike. . I think we we started about noon

Sam is always with us .. and especially on a day like this . Missing him is always part of anything fun and meaningful. It’s part of life now

Mac surprised us by bringing smoked salmon he’d made at home . It was SO delicious!

The rest of the day passed wonderfully slowly … we slowed down around 4

Mac and Diane made dinner . General Tsaos tofu and chicken . And eggplant

We harvested our first ripe Meyers lemon that was part of our dinner

Here s one thing i made for the family.. matching light up headbands

I’m feeling very grateful for my family and our lives here . I love my family so much. Missing you Sam

Nite all, nite Sam
