Christmas: Before, During & After

Just wanted to share some pics with y'all from our small Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations. I say "small" because this year, it was just seven of us...well five and the two "boys". Urban Cowboy (Little Pissy's boyfriend) couldn't be with us as he usually is. But we did have a new addition to our little family: Penguin's hubby "Z"!!! This was his first Christmas with us as a "relative". Last Christmas he was still trying to get used to us~this year he just fits right in! :)

On Christmas Eve, we had game night...we played Scrabble, Poker, Solitaire/Hearts, and, of course, we blogged! :)

By the evening, both 'boys' were worn out! Poor pooches! They
were so busy running circles around all of their 'people' confused because we weren't paying the attention to them they think they're "due".

After the boys slowed down, and the family was finally ready to regroup, we opened our gifts. We have gotten into the habit of opening gifts on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day--'cuz none of us want to get up early!!! PUHLEASE!

Penguin played Santa and passed out all of the gifts. She gets ridiculously giddy about this. :)

I always give Penguin LOTS of Christmas decorations and ornaments as gifts 'cuz she LOVES Christmas time sooooo much! :)

As you can see, gift giving (and receiving) is fun at Pissy's Place! Check out all of this gift wrap! Sweet Man tried dropping a tired puppy down in the middle of the pile, just to see what he'd do...he ran away. Scared the poor fella to death!

I always make Lasagne (from scratch) for Christmas dinner. I know its a shock~ Pissy can cook?!?!? But it's what we all want and Lord knows I never make it any other time of the year~ I'm too lazy! :)

Penguin made one of her famous salads, and she and I decorated the dining room together. We're all about decorating!

As you can see, a FABULOUS time was had in the Pissy household! We ate too much, played too much and (some of us) drank too much!

Hope y'all had as much fun as we did!!! :)
