Although the people in my family don't open Christmas gifts until January 7, that custom doesn't apply to the crocheted mice.
Here is a quick photo recap of the fun Uncle Barty and his newly regenerated nephew Bertrand the Mouse had in opening their gifts.
I say "their gifts" because Uncle Barty really wasn't expecting any gifts as bringing Bertrand home was the best gift of them all for him.
But Santa Bob had a surprise for Uncle Barty.
Here we go.
Uncle Barty and Bertrand open their first gifts.
Uncle Barty poses with his gift from Santa Bob, a vintage collectible...
...nearly lifesize (well, Uncle Barty lifesize) windup mouse. Uncle Barty had lots of fun playing with it.
Santa was very good to Bertrand, too. He received a mouse sticker...
...a costume for pretend playtime from Santa Rebekah.
Wait! What's this? A box within a box?
Bertrand can't wait to open it!
But - what is it? Could it be the top item on Bertrand's wish list to Santa?
It is!
Bertrand really wanted this little mouse doll. But his mistress (me) said $50 was too expensive for a mouse doll. So Santa Rebekah stepped in and made Bertrand's greatest wish come true.
Santa Rebekah also gifted Bertrand with two plastic toy bats. Bertrand loves bats because Bertrand thinks bats look like mice.
Santa also brought Bertrand a new book. Reading is Bertrand's favorite activity. He loves books.
Now that Bertrand had opened every gift, he was ready to spend the rest of the day playing.
Uncle Barty did the same.
And when Christmas day was nearly done, and both mice were getting tired...
Uncle Barty and Bertrand snuggled into bed with Bertrand's new book. Bertrand liked it so much, Uncle Barty read it three times.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone at the BryonySeries.
