Christmas morning started with the Mayor firing up the coffee, furnace and virtual fireplace.
Stockings before church.
Eejee's first year getting to play with the Scalextric slot cars.
Quick snack after church and then it was time for presents!
Eejee was overjoyed to get his very own Flaf-light.
Seimi was overjoyed to get a whole bunch of Risk soldiers.
Ela was overjoyed to get a Maddie Hatter hat including her very own dormouse to live in the hat.
Boookie was overjoyed to get a slingshot that included indoor and outdoor ammunition.
The Hobbit Wife was overjoyed at a printed book version of this blog.
The Mayor was overjoyed to get a very ugly Christmas sweater.
Eejee's theme was "No Nos." He got his very own sweep, flaf-light, and wadder boddle so he doesn't have to get in trouble taking ones that don't belong to him.
Seimi's theme was "Game Pieces and Monsters."
Here's Seimi playing his new-and-improved version of Risk
Ela's theme was "Ever After High," specifically the character of Madeline Hatter.
Here's Ela posing with her complete Maddie Hatter ensemble.
Boookie's theme was "Redwall," specifically otters and badgers.
The sons of thunder racing their new motorcycles on the track.
The Hobbit Wife pulled out all the stops and assembled fabulous Harry Potter-themed present boxes for each of the hobbitlings. Each member of the household got a knitted sweater (ornament-sized) in their house color, and here is the house tally (the reader will have to guess who went with each house, although there are a couple answers in the pictures below):
- Slytherin House (2)
- Griffindor House (1)
- Hufflepuff House (2)
- Ravenclaw House (1)
Eejee reveling in the best feature of our Michael Delving Christmas celebrations - two days of an open table. He loved running up to grab cookies, cheese, crackers and bread when he felt like it (as did we all). On Christmas Day we got to host GranDma and Apu and on Boxing Day, Grammy and Grampz came up to celebrate.
The annual stuffed animal Christmas party was held down in the Bunker on Boxing Day.
The Aftermath, Part the Seimi.
The Aftermath, Part the Eejee. He's actually not asleep, just throwing a fantastic new style of fit where he goes motionless and pretends to be asleep.
