A busy day.
Steph and Jenny went for a walk this morning....Gary went to coffee.
When she got home, Steph took a break while she was making yet another batch of cookies!
So good!
Set the table, made rice pudding, Swedish meatballs and took an afternoon nap.
Chores at 5.
In the low thirties. It was really a beautiful day.
Jen, Scott, Finn and Coop arrived around 6:30.
Finished getting everything together for dinner.....
then it was time to chow.
Limpa rye bread, cranberries, Swedish korv (sausage), scalloped potatoes, rice pudding, Brussels sprouts and a salad with pears and apples.
Grampa was on a roll telling stories.
After dinner we went back by the fire and eventually had some cookies.
We are minimalists when it comes to presents. (The Swedes always celebrate Christmas Eve). Moola and Buffalo Bills hats were on the agenda along with organic coffee. Scott got a level and we got a bag full of goodies (like almonds, apricots, jam and a gift certificate to Tony D's). Simple. The main thing was being together.
I could not get these three all on the same page...but we had a good time trying!
It was all about the hats.
Night all. Poor Gary is still out there doing dishes.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Have just watched Miracle on 34th Street (Edmund Gwinn version) again as we always do on Christmas Eve.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a joyful 2026 (because his criminal awfulness is gone).
Hugs!
