It’s the Most Wonderful Time of Year ~Christmas 2019 ~Now a Memory ~My Christmas Eve Report

Our much anticipated guests arrived...
Our grandson and his parents had
spent a couple of days with family in Minneapolis,
and then made the last leg of their trip to our home.

I had dinner in the oven...
After they were settled in,
we all enjoyed a sit-down meal together.

Earlier in the day, my final preparations
included baking everyone’s favorite holiday cookies.
It was worth every second of my time...

It turns out that Uncle Jake’s favorite Snowballs,
are also Jack’s delight.

Our evening was spent watching Monday Night Football.
The guys started here, and then moved out to the man cave.

Amy and I watched upstairs while
wrapping the rest of the gifts for under our tree.

The next morning, Christmas Eve morning,
Jack had his first breakfast of Yogurt.

Lizzie also wanted to get acquainted with this little human.

Jack’s Mama and I made a quick trip to
Starbucks and Target for some last minute needs.
Jack loves playing with cars,
so Grandpa’s Hot Wheels were a bit hit.
They didn’t even notice we were gone!

Then, Grandpa’s brunch, nap-time,
and dinner pre-preparations...
before heading to Christmas Eve services.


This Grandpa and Nana loved
having our family home for the holiday.

We all opened some gifts.
For Jack...
Something he wants,
Something he needs,
Something to wear,
Something to read.

Then it was time to hang our stockings,
and for little Jack to go to bed.

Hubby headed out to the airport
to collect daughter #2 and her husband.

Stay tuned for my Christmas Day report.
Take care,
~Natalie
