Merry Christmas!

Since it is the 27th and I am just posting my Merry Christmas post, that let's you know I've sure been busy.  But it is never too late to catch up.

Christmas Eve, I was lucky to be off work and had a day planned with Philip, Tiffany, and Jennie. We decided to have a yummy sushi lunch and then went to see Aquaman, the movie.  I have a preference for the theater with recliner seats which is always a treat.  After lunch and the movie, we came to my house to visit and frost sugar cookies. 

Philip got a new haircut and was having fun with it.

Yummy cookies!

Frosting cookies.  A Christmas eve tradition.

Jennie and Me

 We planned to go to Market Street for a yummy Christmas Eve dinner.    They decorate pretty, have Christmas lights and ornaments all around, and a beautiful view of the mountains.    It was a beautiful night and we enjoyed it.  It was wonderful to get time with Jennie.  Philip and Tiffany planned to spend the night so we broke open the alcohol and played board games which was really fun and a new tradition for us.

Playing Sorry

Christmas morning, we exchanged stocking items and then had a nice waffle breakfast.  I also made some "to go" ham dinner packages for Philip and Tiffany and for John.  I only saw John a brief moment as he passed through but it was great to see him.

My new red stocking full of yummies!

Our delicious breakfast

I spent Christmas evening visiting with friends and family on the phone.  Not quite as good as having them near but excellent none the less.

The day after Christmas, I had the great opportunity to have lunch with Jennie and Dad.  Dad has had some health issues was in good spirits and seemed to be feeling a little better which is great. 

My holidays were fantastic and I really enjoyed all the time with Philip and Tiffany and seeing Jennie and Dad (and John for a second).  I hope everyone else enjoyed their holidays as well.
