Our Christmas Day 2024

She wanted to be a present under the tree. :)

I didn't take too many photos - just wanted to be present for Christmas. Here are a few.

Summer made a charcuterie board to munch on.

She also did the table setting.

It was warm enough to have the door open. :)

Someone put away three spears of asparagus like this. And no one would claim it.

Our Christmas dinner: ham, cornbread corn, green beans with onion and bacon, cottage mashed potatoes, noodle gravy, sourdough bread.

We also had chocolate delight and avocado pie.

After dinner, we watched It's a Wonderful Life. The. Best.

Then we played a couple games. I love playing games together!

My Christmas gifts - from Kylee. :)

I got everyone a new book for Christmas - I even got me one. :)

Autumn gave me the Ancestry kit. I am excited to do the test and see my ancestry!

Eric got me this volumizer for my hair.

Sierra got me this cute shirt and short set.

Elena gave me this towel and soap set.

Eric also gave me a feet and neck massager.

The girls went together for stocking gifts. Towels, heat protectant for my hair, lotion, foundation and satin pillowcases.
