Christmas 2023

Merry Christmas to all. It is a bittersweet day for sure missing Dad. Renn was up with Kaylin on her first Christmas morning. S cooked the last ring of sausage with eggs and toast.

I got the turkey in the oven. Gifts were exchanged between the kids as well as ones they got us. Renn of course got all kinds of fun gifts. S got me an Apple Watch, new technology to add to my Apple collection. Kaylin set it up for me after it charged.

Harley really wants to see what R is opening

Renn was crafty for Christmas, it was the only ornament on my minimalistic tree this year!

Britt and Dave gave me this tasty Irish rose gin, THANKS!!

Grama and Papa arrived after 1:30. Grama brought all kinds of snacks and food. More gifts were opened. Dave cooked tasty coconut pies which we sampled mid afternoon. 

The turkey was cooked early. This had Shaina scrambling with her fancy Brussels sprouts. Britt created a delicious veggie salad too. The feast was enjoyed by all.

Evening was once again filled with card games, puzzle work and lots of snacks. The puzzle was finally completed after midnight. B, D and C left for the night as rest were off to bed. I worked on the blog as behind many days. I also checked out my new Apple watch features.
