You’ve probably heard me say that my favorite thing to do
is visit our adult children in their homes.
Our Daughter and her Hubby planned Christmas Eve Dinner…
Mussels and Frites.
One cannot visit New England
without enjoying some fresh seafood.
Papa and Gigi were banished from the kitchen.
We watched a Christmas movie with Jack and Henry.
Can you guess what movie it was?
That’s right, The Polar Express. Jack and his mama
had riden on the Polar Express Train a couple of weeks ago…
complete with Hot Cocoa, Santa Claus, and a gift box with the Bell.
Out meal started with a Charcuterie Board.
The Goat Cheese Ball with Dried Cranberries was fabulous.
The olives and salami were pretty tasty, too.
We were each served a huge bowl of
Steamed Mussels and Toasted Garlic Bread.
After a quick kitchen cleanup,
we moved into the Living Room
to see what was under the tree.
It was difficult to contain our excitement.
It was also difficult to take turns opening gifts.
However, everyone was patient and waited their turn.
Jack provided assistance for his little Brother, Parents,
and Grandparents when they opened their gifts, too.
The highlight of our evening was Jack’s new rocket ship.
He was bursting with excitement…
so much that I thought he might launch into space by himself!
The Rocket is pretty sweet. There’s a kitchenette,
and a sleeping/shower area for the little astronauts.
When it was bedtime, we all listened to Mama read The Polar Express.
The illustrations in this book are just beautiful.
It comes with a Special Ornament inside the back cover.
It was time to set out Cookies for Santa
and a carrot for Rudolph.
‘Twas the Night before Christmas and all through the House,
Not a Creature was stirring, not even a Mouse.
I hope the Holiday was Magical for you.
Take care,
~Natalie
