Santa's Reindeer??

Yesterday afternoon, as I was looking out my upstairs bedroom window into our backyard, I saw this ...



We thought it might be one of Santa's reindeer resting for the big night. :)

Seriosly though, we do have a lot of deer around here but I have never seen one just laying in our yard. She looked so content and peaceful.

I so badly wanted to go outside and get closer to get some good pictures, but I knew she would just run away so I was stuck with pictures taken through a window. And as much as I wanted to get outside closer to that deer, Bella my dog wanted to get outside even more!! :)
