Simple Christmas Morning

And there we have it, the most simple Christmas I've had to date.

I didn't go overboard, Bitty asked for just a handful of things.

Christmas Eve and Happy Tears

It's been a little over one year since we lost Daddy. It's been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, get used to life without him in it.

For my gift to my stepmother, I commissioned a friend to draw my dad.

It was well-received. And everyone was saying how good it was to see his face there tonight. 

Sweetest Picture of the Season

Bitty has been wearing the hat all day, but I was unable to get a good shot. She has inherited my dislike of having her picture taken.

And then she passed out on the sofa.

Gifts From Friends and Family

My family of course, decided my naked tree was a cry for help.

I was gifted with some ornaments.

Did you note the pumpkins? Those were Bitty's contribution to the decorating scheme.
