I awoke early, about 5:00 a.m. Made my coffee and put the breakfast casserole in the over. We thought Alyzabeth would wake up early but no, she took her time and was up a little after 7 am.
The tree looked nice this year, sweet, not overpowering. I would like to buy a few more light strings, never can have enough lights.
We opened gifts from my Mom, Melissa, Terri, Aunt Patti, Donna (Gallion Crawford), the Morge's and Carolyn. We already had gifts from Bill and Joan, Aunti Jean.
So many gifts! Mom sent maple syrup, pumpkin pie cans, LL Bean gift cards, Kanoodle game, emergency maple syrup for AA (funny, tiny bottle), plus a pin (arrived broken), a purse, zip pouch, plus the centerpiece, whoopie pies, Consumer Report subscription!
Justin came over, then Leaa, Jesse, Liv and Dylan arrived. We had a drink and shrimp cocktail; then enjoyed dinner of ham, mashed potatoes and green beans; cherry berry pie, whoopie pies and Ford's Rice Krispie treats. Leaa and Liv brought an apple, spinach, feta salad with red wine vinegar dressing - delicious.
We drove to Larry's home to see what the family wanted. Jesse took the lawn mower and several men's retro shirts for a friend; Leaa took a leather "Davey Crockett" jacket, plus weights and two blue glass pitchers (Shirley Temple). Dylan took a small boom box that plays CD's. Justin took the generator and some tools. I think they will be back to look some more.
Back at our home we opened gifts from Leaa and Jesse: a Florida State Parks Annual Pass, mascara and lip gloss for AA and me; a cold curling set for AA.
Justin took our gifts to he and Kilee to open with Kilee at his home later. A nice day spent with all three of our kids!
We opened gifts from Donna (Gallion Crawford, housekeeper) rather late. She gave AA a blanket with a dog on it, and a walrus you heat up for back aches, stress etc.
