In case you are celebrating Christmas, I hope you might be having the happiest of Christmas Seasons!

I saved the Jolliest mug for at the moment! Good ole Greenback Tree.

Effectively, we went from this arrange for 19……

to this arrange for 7 in a matter of minutes yesterday afternoon.

Fevers and sore throats prevented 12 from coming. I used to be so bummed as I do know all of them have been too. And the youngsters. Ugh….I hate to think about having to cancel plans for youths on Christmas Eve only a few hours earlier than it’s supposed to start out.

We nonetheless have been in a position to have Mikes mother and father, Jake and Jordan and Wrenley over. The infant appears to be ready till after Christmas, which is what Mother hoped for thus she might spend her Christmas morning at dwelling.

Whereas studying we have been downsizing, I used to be in the course of making this…..

The 7 of us didn’t make a dent in it, however I beloved the way it turned out!

Dinner was Alfredo from a neighborhood Italian Restaurant, Lasagna from Costco (critically, that is the most effective…lol. It truly is!), Caesar Salad and bread.

After dinner, Grandma, myself and Wren labored on a gingerbread home. Effectively, Wren labored on it. She loves any type of craft/artwork undertaking!

I believe everybody was passed by 7:00.

I’d by no means made a chocolate martini earlier than, however after having one with my girlfriends earlier within the week, I made a decision to provide it a go at dwelling.

Mike and I completed the night on the deck with a fireplace going, watching It’s a Great Life sipping on a Chocolate Martini.

Not the night we have been anticipating or hoping for, however grateful for the night that we did have.

Merry Christmas Mates!
