Christmas Day

After a morning of opening presents, it was off to Paul and Denese's for Christmas lunch.    Santa or Eloise calls it "Pretend Santa" came on horseback.

The girls had a great time with their cousins and aunts & uncles that they don't see that often and made themselves feel right at home.

Christmas day was a scorcher and the girls were very happy to jump into the large inflatable pool that had been filled with dam water.
