December 23~
Monday morning, everyone enjoyed sleeping in,
relaxing, and settling-in. We just stayed at home all day.

That
evening, we had a big meal and my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins came over! The menu
included pork with peppers, mashed potatoes, fruit, chips and guacamole, sweet
potato casserole, and salad.

It was so good to be with family again and
spend some time together!

Tuesday was a pretty low-key day as well. Some
of the kids went with Daddy to the mall that day to do some shopping. We picked
a crazy day, of course! J

Watching
a movie.

We
had our big Christmas Eve meal around 3 p.m. We ate some of the most amazing
ham I’ve ever eaten, along with fruit, Asian salad, potato salad, and bread.
|
Then we got dressed up and headed to my
grandparents’ church for their Christmas Eve candlelight service. It was a
great time of worship and reflection.
 |
One
of our Christmas Eve traditions when we’re in Ohio, is to drive through this
cul-de-sac that has an incredible light display. This was one of the 6 or so
houses there. Amazing, isn’t it?

Then
when we got home, Abuela made her
homemade hot chocolate, and we had it with crackers, cheese, and cookies.
|
Then it was off to bed for all of us!
