And the Beard of His Chin was as White as the Snow (DPP 17)

"His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow."



Have you ever played Christmas Scrabble? It is just scrabble, but all your words have to relate to Christmas somehow. Sometimes it gets very difficult to come up with a word that fits. You may have a word that your letters create, but it no way fits the Christmas theme. Holley and I played a couple of rounds of Christmas Scrabble and it was so much fun. I think I am going to make this a holiday tradition! (By the way, besides a few house rules, these were all legit words).

His Cheeks Were Like Roses, His Nose Like a Cherry! (DPP 16)

"His eyes - how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!"

A Bundle of Toys He Flung on His Back (DPP 15)

"A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack."



I just love her little tush and her beautiful eyes. I can't get enough of her.




We had such a great time having the Fox family over for dinner. Evelyn got to hang out with her "BOYFRIEND" who is only 2 days older than her and her friend Kristen. It is so fun to watch her interact with other children. The holidays are so much fun!

He was Dressed All in Fur, From His Head to His Foot (DPP 14)

"He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot."

Oh what a beautiful sight as I drove home at lunch. I love Hood River.



And then another beautiful sight on my drive home after work. Can't get much better than this.

Down the Chimney St. Nicholas Came with a Bound (DPP 13)

"As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound."

The Prancing and Pawing of Each Little "Hoof" (DPP 12)

"And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. "




Ahhhh cat naps, wish I could get more of them!

With the Sleigh Full of Toys, and St. Nicholas Too. (DPP 11)

"So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too."
