This photo was snapped just after Santa had come and filled the stockings and laid out the presents. Had I been there even a minute earlier I know I would have seen him.

Christmas morning stockings and presents

Mark, just before the stocking emptying began

I wrap everything, including stocking stuffers. Our unwrapping tradition can take a couple hours. After a meal break we resuming unwrapping around 3:00 p.m.

Happy Mark

With architectural precision Mark arranged all the gifts under the tree

Yesterday afternoon we visited my brother and sister-in-law at their home in Guelph for a socially-distanced gift exchange. We are taking Trooper out for a walk.

Happy Trooper and Grant
