"This was a great Christmas!"

. . . Rollo repeated frequently.  A few scenes . . .

Scoot helping decorate outside.

We could see the full moon through the clouds Monday night

as we strung lights and supported ladders,

but the clouds thickened and started to rain before the Earth's shadow was noticeable.

Suffice it to say that the moon is often eclipsed around here.

Christmas Eve, after going carolling in the rain.

By the way, these guys decided on a new name for December 23rd:

"Christmas Adam"

Since Adam came before Eve, you know.

Why didn't I think of that?

Some of these boys were more awake than the others.

A new squad of army men monitored the proceedings.

Rockin' Rollo with his surprising robe and long-awaited guitar.

This season I've been feeling more literary than crafty, but I did enjoy sewing Rollo's robe.  I also crocheted this green Santa hat for Scoot, and followed my old standby pattern to make slippers for Rollo and the Caterpillar. 

I hope you had a merry day as well!
