Christmas Eve Eve
We celebrated Christmas and Grammie's birthday at Rashelle's this year. Kayleen's family couldn't come because they had Covid at their house. That was too bad. We had a delicious Maddox dinner and sang to Grammie:
Christmas Eve:
It started with an unplanned trip to the grocery store because there was a sale on ground beef and I came home also with lots of strawberries that needed immediate attention:
I spent about 7 hours in the kitchen this day. Jam. Jello. Sugar Cookies. Manger scenes. Tamales from scratch. Lunch. And more dinner prep. It turned out to be lovely and so yummy:
We ended the night with hymns and Come Follow Me and the story from Luke 2. It was nice:
4 stockings are filled:
Ready for kids to come downstairs!:
Let's check out the stockings and open some gifts:
A, Dad let you practice a little shooting into a box at the end of the hall. You are so happy with this gift and you didn't shoot your eye out!:
We opened gifts at Gramma and Grandpa's house. Gramma got a game called Keeping it Saxy:
Grandpa got a book called Crap Taxidermy and it sure made him laugh:
You guys got gifts too, and you're already snuggling with your new blankets. Also Laura's dog is snuggling with Dad:
Still laughing at Grandpa's book:
After lunch we did the bells:
Then it was time to go home and give Pluto his special dinner that Santa left him. He couldn't wait:
Lastly, just a cute pictures of Pluto by the tree for his Instagram account.:
I miss the lights now that it's all put away. The lights on people's houses and on our tree just makes me feel so happy. I love Christmas time. It's so fun to watch you guys enjoy it and see the magic in your eyes.
Sure love you guys!
Mom
