Because of the big snowstorm in northern Kentucky,
Big Owl and Kathie had to make adjustments to their holiday plans.
Annie's flight to Cincinnati was canceled,
so she couldn't come until Christmas Day.
But Christopher was there,
and Annie got to stay an extra day,
so it worked out OK in the end.
Big Owl was in such a hurry to get to the airport
that he forgot his camera,
but as soon as Annie got home,
he took a picture of her and Azzie.
Notice how relaxed Azzie is with Chris.
Notice how relaxed Azzie is for the family picture.
Annie liked Kathie's "Oklahoma!" hat.
The plan was to eat lunch first,
but Annie couldn't wait,
so we went straight to opening presents.
Kathie got a dvd of her favorite movie.
First presents:
Christopher likes wine, and Annie likes her face.
Surprise! Big Owl and Kathie each got the other a copy of "De-lovely!"
