CHRISTMAS MORNING 2011

 Christmas morning arrives--with Winston standing guard under the Christmas tree.....

 Bianca is kind enough to organize all the family's gifts.........

And distributes them one by one--oldest to youngest..............

 Giano is ready to tear right into the unwrapping.....

 And Poopette is right in the Santa spirit.......

Dwight is happy for some new winter clothes.....

 And the "Christmas Ringmaster" keeps calling the names......

 Some of the presents are way cleverly wrapped.............

More for her collection--although Giano seems to have dozed off waiting for his next gift.....

 "Gee, what is it?"..........

 "Maybe it goes like this"..............

"Well, I just LOVE it!"....................................

 Awake again, Giano continues unwrapping his gifts.....

 No, Frannie is not punching out the photographer (me)......

She's showing off her new METS ring........

 Keekers is proud to be claimed by the 505..........

 And Giano by the Gomez Clan with his "Grandma sweater"..........

Danny is recording all this for prosperity with his camera phone......

 Mei Toy on her sumptuous pillow is disturbed by something in the room......

 Solange is also perturbed by something in this box.......

Even Giano is determined to investigate......

 Frannie is getting to the bottom of this situation.....

 Oh, it's just a mischievous little somebody........

a VERY mischievous little somebody!.........

 "Isn't he just the CUTEST little thing?"..........

 Unamused, Kiki continues on the task on hand--unwrapping.....

Frannie has garnered a classic movie DVD.......

 It's a struggle with some of this tenuous wrap......

 But the vintage hat is worth the trouble.....

Nothin' says lovin' like giant salt shakers--at least to a saltaholic like me........

 Giano is cautious as he proceeds--who knows who might have crawled into his box.........

 Someone who loves Frannie a lot must have given her this "ov'Glove" and corresponding fish pot holder set......

Miss Binks waxes philosophical on the events of the morning.......

And Keekers is amazed as she watches the opening of the many gifts from Winston's stocking he got from his friend Tinker......
.

After sampling the fresh catnip in his stocking, Winston jumped up, ran outside and climbed the tree to a high perch over the driveway ...........

Where he, quite frankly, got more than just a little jiggy with it!  We hope that all you, gentle readers. had a wonderful Christmas and that you had an occasion to "get more than just a little jiggy with it" too!
