Whatta Nice Christmas Eve
December 24, 2023
Today was about prepping Christmas Eve dinner and delivering baked goods. It was mostly about hanging with these cutesters, listening to them sing and trade off playing guitar.
We decided we needed a bigger, less-cracked Crockpot, so I made a Christmas Eve trip to Target — yes, the last place I’d ever want to be on Christmas Eve but it was surprisingly not too chaotic — to get one. Yay.. no more stress about all the food fitting in the thing. We had a 4 quart, and now have a 7 quart. Yips! Here’s our giant 3 lb chuck roast getting slow-cooked in our new Crockpot to the tender state of falling apart (well, not quite, but it was good!). Room to spare!
The table’s been more or less Christmas-set for a few weeks now, but it looked particularly pretty for Christmas Eve dinner (I thought):
I have a couple of guest shots…. Janet with Jim…
And here’re Bill and Sabrina, who came over for dessert only…
