Christmas Eve 2023

Debbie and Dave came for 3 days this year and stayed in a nearby hotel. We so happy to host them and Beth and all be together on Christmas. Last year Dave had COVID and we celebrated together in January.


We decided to do brunch and I made a hashbrown casserole and Debbie made cinnamon roll trees!






So much fun.



Ally ate fruit loops.

We had an advent puzzle kit that we failed to assemble daily so we split it up and each of us put together one frame. Some were more challenging than others.




Then we painted wood Christmas decorations.


Note that Rudolphopoly is hanging up in our kitchen. For the first time since it’s creation we did not play this year. Puzzling and crafting were the thing this year. But it was nostalgic to see the board up.


Our finished works.


Beth and I made cookie trees to bring to the church shelter with the meal we made for their dinner.








Another festive cocktail before our traditional tamale meal.


Ally was so happy Cloey let her pick her up.

At home Christmas Eve candlelight service.



We watch our church service live. 

I only had 5 taper candles so I used a big jar candle. Beth thought it was so funny. 


After church we watch a Muppet Christmas Carol. Then Dave and Debbie headed back to the hotel and we went to bed!
