What a beautiful, fun Christmas!

I woke this morning to the whispered conversation of two of my granddaughters admonishing each other to be quiet while they explored the contents of their stockings which had of course been "hung by the chimney with care".  After enjoying our church's late night Christmas Eve service together, I spent last night at my son and daughter-in-law's house just so I could enjoy this early morning wake up call.  As soon as I let the girls know I was awake we spent a cozy half hour or so exploring their goodies while Mommy and Daddy slept in.  Finally, at 8:00am, we coaxed the parents out of bed and got down to the real present opening.
After all of the gifts had been opened my oldest granddaughter, who had been intensely hoping for an Ipod, had just about resigned herself to not getting that most hoped for gift, when her dad, through a series of written clues, led her on a scavenger hunt all over the house, the culmination of which was a series of letters she had to unscramble to figure our where her gift was hidden.  it took her a while (and a few hints) but she finally solved the puzzle and got her Ipod.  I figured out the clue, can you?  Unscramble these letters to discover where her Ipod was hidden:  O C P E H A N N I B
PS All of the food was excellent but the key lime pie at dinner was awesome!
