Once again we had a wonderful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at Carol’s as has become our tradition. Brittany, Will and the boys have joined us the last two years so that makes it even more special.
Christmas Day was spent at our house, and once again Will wowed us with some incredible steaks. I made a 2024 version of broccoli rice casserole with real cheese. Although, it tasted okay it was a little dry, and perhaps it needed a jar of cheese whiz straight out of the eighties.
Levi was thrilled with his Bruder “PPS” truck. Casen loved his Bruder telehandler, but I think Hayes was over the moon with his artist wooden mannequin, and his 60 count Art Hub markers.
Perhaps the most fun of all was the Polar Express train that Chuck bought for the boys. Casen particularly was enthralled with the train, and spent many hours reconfiguring the track.
The two older boys ended up spending the night, and were kind enough not to wake up Mimi and Papa in the morning. When I got up they informed me that they had been up for an hour quietly drawing and playing with the train back in the hallway.
We had a delicious breakfast of pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs. The pancakes were part of our gift from John and Sally, and were embellished with sautéed pears, pear syrup, whipped cream, and pecans supplied and cracked by Casen!
We are so blessed to be able to celebrate the holiday with our family, and especially blessed to live so close to our grandsons.
