It was great because hubby and I cooked together at a slower pace, we had dinner at 3:00 and I was through in the kitchen before we all went to one of hubby's churches for the Christmas Eve Communion service. The kids will bring Emma over in the morning around 11:00 for her Santa at Grammy's and gift exchanges. We won't have to cut short our gifting to "put the turkey on". After they leave just the three of us (J's brother) will enjoy leftovers from today. We have decided that this is much more fun and less stressful for everyone.
So tonight I'm feeling pretty relaxed. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
I think we try to do too much.
Tomorrow, after breakfast, I will put the turkey in before we open gifts. We open stockings early. That keeps Marissa occupied.
I think there will be 7 or 8 of us for dinner but I expect a couple of nieces to stop by later. I have genealogy books for them and they are excited to see them. LOL. I put the info in 3 ring binders so I can keep adding to them.
Please give our love to MrWVNan and the rest of your family.
