I wish I had taken pictures of all the magnificent food, but we were so busy making and eating food we just didn’t have time for pictures! ;o)
Not only did we have Christmas crackers from the UK but we also had Christmas balls from China. There were little tiny toys everywhere!
First we had snacks and appetizers as fuel for present unwrapping.
Elsie had Christmas nails :o)
It was kind of weird to have to set gifts aside for both Grandma (she was just in too much pain to make the trip up this year) and Zack (he had to work). :o(
I love that my niece Stella was so excited about her box of Wheat Thins! She unwrapped the box and exclaimed, “We got a box of Wheat Thins!” LOL It was actually a dress-up mermaid tail I made for her…
Elsie got jewelry!
Maggie’s “Extreme Dot to Dot” book… This one went to over 1000!!! Super cool!
Stella LOVES her Pillow Pet unicorn!
Will is STILL excited about getting Legos!!!
After dinner we had Theresa’s Flaming Bee Hive of Enniscorthy! It is an awesome flaming baked Alaska that looks like a bee hive! I took pics of it baking but not of it on fire… :o( Hopefully someone did! It was pretty and delicious!
"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:6-7
