Remember people, we rise somewhere around 5 AM, our day starts early. Since our day starts early, it also ends early, around 7PM for Eli, with us close behind. So, mid-day for us is around 10AM, when I usually have lunch! Christmas day we tried to follow our routine-- tried. Since Eli had not slept as well as we all wish, he napped with Nana in the morning while Alexander and I prepared our things to head home. We made it home with just enough time to unload, start some laundry, spark up the stove, cook a little dinner, call some family, and crash.
We did get to see a large flock of bald eagles near the bridge of Perry Lake on our way home. I did catch a few photos of the more than 10 in the trees, but, because Eli was not very happy to be in the car seat, we had to snap shots as we drive by. I was lucky enough to catch a couple nice shots of the eagles on the water! We are lucky to have the chance to view these majestic creatures daily.. and I hope someday this winter I can get closer to them so I may capture them more clearly. If nothing else, I know they will be here next year.
If you click on the photos, they enlarge for better viewing, FYI.
