'twas the night before Christmas...

and all through the house...
not a creature was stirring...
except Chukar and Max!

Our little "family" Christmas present....Chukar!
Who has brought so much joy to Rich and I...and everyone he meets!
Our little "Fukar" has turned into quite the Big Boy and lover!
Max showed Chukar how to open a present...even though Chukar was more interested in Max wanting to play...but he was a good teacher!
Chukar watching Max...just wanting him to love him!
All tuckered out in his new bed from Grandma and Grandpa B.
He even "marked" his territory so that Max wouldn't think it was his...yes, you can see the dribbles on his duck.
Chukar helping Rich open a present....still not quite interested....
...and escaping to the Tree!
Finally, he was ready for nap #2...with his Christmas bow.
Yes...another picture of Chukar...but we just love him so much!
Santa rich bringing down the gifts from Aunt Roxy and Grandma G!
Mom and Dad with the puppies....relaxing after a delicious dinner!
XOXO
Rich and I got snuggies from my Aunt Roxy...woo hoo!
Go Washington (and Washington State)!
Nap #3 and this time Chukar took Rich with him....yes, we ate, we drank, we laughed and enjoyed our quiet little family time with my parents!
We headed to our house and Rich got to open his Christmas Eve present from Santa Stacie...
Yes! Pajamas!
And, I got a matching pair!!!
We went upstairs to play a new Wii game from Aunt Roxy...and I decided that Rich had to open one from me too....so Chukar and Rich got to play Chicken hunt and Duck hunt!
My cutie!
Christmas morning...getting ready for breakfast!
Chukar loving is little bed...
...and daddy's new hat!
My new gloves...and Chukar loved them.
The perfect wrap job (by Rich)....look at those lines.
Chukar finally opening up his 1st present...all by himself!
He was going to town...couldn't quite understand how Max was such a pro!
Woo hoo...new baby from Aunt Roxy and Grandma G....and kickin' it in his bed!
He wouldn't let that toy go...loves it!
And finally, some outdoor clothes for me....hahah!
Merry Christmas!!!

Off to Christmas dinner in Kennewick with Rich's Family....and Chukar's first road trip over 30 minutes. We are wearing him down so that he will sleep most the trip! Wish us luck!!!!

All our love to everyone this holiday season!
