Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve morning, we had a special surprise for the kids! They had read their letter from Charlie, and knew we were going to run a special errand, but they didn't know what.

We sat them down on the couch and told them that we were about to go pick out....
Guinea Pigs!
They were so surprised and excited!

I had set up an appointment with a rescue organization in advance, and the kids got to meet several potential pairs. They chose Sunny and Gerry.

At home, we assembled their cage and introduced them to their new home.

The kids gave them some carrots and had some lap time.

We spent most of the day playing with them!

Later, we had a lovely dinner of Dungeoness Crab, and then the kids decorated cookies for Santa.

Then, as is our annual tradition, they got to open one present each - new PJ's!

Soon, the kiddies were nestled all snug in their beds! :)
