It was an incredible Christmas, blizzard and all!
Brian and I hosted Christmas Eve last night. Kenny, Michele, Jake, and Michele’s Mom, Betty joined us, Rochell, Gigi, and Sonya. I’d thought it would be nice to have a couple of pots of soup on the stove as well as some freshly baked bread for dinner. I had also been amassing some homemade goodies to serve, such as my Mom’s version of Chex Mix, Oreo Bon-Bons, and Almond Roca.
We opened gifts and laughed all night long. That was the truly enjoyable part, that there was so much laughter. Gigi looked at me towards the end of the night and said it was the best Christmas Eve she’d ever had.
The wind was howling as our party came to an end last night…a blizzard in the forecast. When David woke everyone up for Christmas Morning at 9am, a blizzard was in effect.
We had more presents to open since Santa had stopped by. And since no one could get out of their driveway due to the blizzard we decided to postpone Christmas Dinner until Sunday when Danielle and Cameron return to Mott.
Our Christmas day was spent lazing by the TV, snuggled under blankets, or napping in bed, or playing new games Santa delivered, or reading new books received the night before. Plenty of leftovers were snacked on, pop cans opened, and dishes dirtied…and it couldn’t have been better if we had planned it.
We had a MARVELOUS first WHITE Christmas in Mott, ND…I’ll be looking forward to Christmas 2010.
Here is wishing everyone’s Christmas was marvelous!
