Elinor Christmas

This is a delayed post. We celebrated Christmas with my Great Aunt Elinor on Sunday. I was VERY under the weather, so I skipped lunch. The rest of the family went to Whiskey Creek. Apparently Charlie was showing off for them all and did lots of "so bigs" and "yahs" (clapping). I was very bummed to miss, but I had a bit of a stomach bug. I am about 99% sure it was a food problem. I had some lettuce that maybe I shouldn't have had...

After lunch, Tony picked me up so I could spend a few hours with them all and open presents. Since I wasn't feeling well, I didn't get hardly any pictures.

I did get a couple of Charlie opening his present.

He got an adorable stuffed dog named Mugsy. He LOVES him. 

We got these ornaments that Elinor chip carved. 2013 for Charlie and 2011 for Tony and me. 

This is wood burned on the back. 

Charlie's first carving. A cute little cowboy. 

My cross country skiing gnome! ADORABLE!

Charlie's gnome with the walking stick. Isn't he a cute one!?

We hung around Elinor's for quite a bit. Watched the beginning of the Packer game, then we headed back home so I could sleep.

Thank you Elinor for another great Christmas celebration!
