Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2023

Sunday, December 24, 2023 we celebrated Christmas Eve with a wonderful sacrament meeting. The talks,  the music, everything was wonderful.  I got up early that morning and got the yam casserole, green bean casserole, cranberry salad, and potatoes peeled and ready.  After church, I got the table set and prepared things.  Keith and I took a couple of selfies since we were both dressed up.

John Reynolds came 1 1/2 hours early to eat, so we visited with John and I hurried to finish preparing our meal so we could eat a little earlier than we expected.

John brought us a birdhouse and the book he wrote.  

Dale and Jacque came over and we ate dinner.  It was delicious.  We were visiting after dinner, when we heard a knock at the door.  It was the Page family Christmas Caroling.  They were so cute.  We invited them in and we sang several songs with them.  

After the carolers went home, we played Left, Right, Center.  Keith won the $12.00.

Then we took pictures!  

We went downstairs and watched Holiday Road and another movie.  It was fun!  Dale and Jacque went home around 10:30 p.m. and I cleaned up the dishes.  It was a fun evening.

On Christmas Day, we slept in.  I fixed us bacon, eggs, and toast and then we got ready to go out to Keith's mom's.  We got her a floral on Friday afternoon from Jimmy's Floral.  It was beautiful.  

Jimmy's Floral was so busy that the Layton store had our floral arrangement.  We drove to Layton, and got it and as a thank you for being inconvenient, they gave us a box of 4 chocolates that were delightful.  

We went to Eva's and visited with Brandon and Chad.  After a few hours, we came home.  We took a picture before we left.

Keith and I came home and heated up leftovers for dinner.  We rested and then got ready to go to the Megaplex theater to see the show: "The Boys on the Boat."  It was so good.  It was a nice, easy, day.
