Jilda baked and wrapped presents for most of the day. I'm willing to help, but the work requires surgeon-like precision and experience has taught her that she makes better time when she does it alone. So, I answer the phone, fetch water, and run interference while she works.
At one point, she needed a break so we took the critters for a walk. Taz which is our rescue Yorkie is fearless and thinks she's as tough as the pit bull, so we keep her tethered to a leash when we walk.
Down at the barn, we stopped for a little Christmas contemplation. I pulled the phone from my pocket and shot a picture of the two girls.
Jordan and one of our other great nephews came over in the afternoon to help make a batch of Christmas Cookies. Apparently, they are handier than me and are welcome in the kitchen. I snapped a few photos and sent them to Jilda for her blog tonight.
We have Christmas Eve breakfast with her brother next door. It's a fun traditional event that gets a little rowdy during gifting, but it's something to which I look forward every year.
I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday. And, I hope Santa brings you everything you wished for.
