Bryan, Danielle and Morgan visited in the afternoon of Christmas Eve. We exchanged presents and caught up with each other's lives. Morgan is such a little man. Danielle & Bryan gave us Morgan's picture in a frame--he is so cute. We visited the horses, who were a little overwhelming to Morgan.In the evening, after Bryan and Danielle left, the rest of us fixed pizza, had dinner, and opened what turned out to be a mountain of presents for the kids--Jennifer and Amanda.
The evening ended around nine o'clock.
On Christmas Day, Mom and I opened stocking stuffers that Dennis somehow sneaked into our stockings. People started showing up around 11 o'clock. We will be having dinner early, around 2 p.m.. It will be an abbreviated traditional pasta dinner. We'll have meatballs, but not the spread we used to have. None of us eats that much anymore. We will even have a carload of cookies left over. Early this morning I made canoli cream which we will have with last year's canoli shells. Turned out we had canoli shells, pignolada, and the fixings for canoli (chocolate bits, chocolate shavings, and chopped almonds) in the freezer from last year. Yea.
