Christmas Eve morning began by sleeping in till 8:00am followed by an 11:30 brunch at our house. We were joined by our neighbors Patti & Mike Maher and their grandchildren Sean and Bridgett. We had a tasty sausage & egg casserole, cinnamon buns and even mimosa to start our Christmas Eve out right! We spent the day catching up and by relaxing at the house. Mike & Dave joined all the kids on the rink for a day of ice skating. We all had a GREAT time with eachother!
By 3pm I had the garlic roasting for the mashed potatoes and was preparing appetizers & desserts for Christmas day. Our friends and former students of Dave from about 15+ years ago, Bogdan and Fernando joined us for a ham dinner at the house about 5:30. We all had a great time and enjoyed the company of one another. We didn't even have time to clear our plates and we were off to our 7pm Christmas Eve service.
