The dust is settling from Christmas morning. AJ has already gone down to the neighbors, comparing gifts and to play computer games. I've managed to clean up the kitchen (breakfast of eggs, waffles, hash browns, sausage and orange juice!) and picked up most of the wrapping papers and bags. Just in time to get ready for dinner! Not really, but pretty close!

I did get the rest of the presents done today - we leave tomorrow for Susanville, so I am almost a day ahead! (I know, Christmas presents should be done before Christmas, but what can I say!) I'll get pictures of them loaded later!

As promised, here are pictures of the birds. The orange ones are Meenie and Minie, and the black ones are Eenie and Moe. I couldn't remember which of the orange birds we had left, but Ralph decided he was defiantly a "Meanie". He has been picking on the new birds all day! Not a great picture, but it hard to take pictures through the bars of the cage.


Along with the birds, the other animals got presents too! The dogs got a new Spider - a fuzzy green spider that growls and croaks and squeaks. Jasper loves it, but Koori.....maybe not so much!
Koori is hiding from all the commotion - poor baby!


Rufus likes his new toy mice, too!


The kids seemed to enjoy their gifts - always a surprise! Alli was very impressed with her Pez containers and her blocks, along with a new blanket. Happy girl! AJ was impressed with his new cot - look - it is long enough for him!
