We woke up Christmas morning to the usual. Paul went to work. I had to finish cleaning the house.
Paul went and picked up the kids at the airport about 6:30 and then after Cris' arrival....the festivities began.
It began with the decision as to what china we would be using this year. The china Mary gave me many years ago (on the left) or Paul's grandmother's china which is very old (on the right). I used a little of both. Don't get to use them.....only a couple of times a year, but I really cherish both of these sets.
Dinner was on the stove cooking. The feast would be pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, and crescent rolls.
We also don't do dessert often....only special holidays. I think the pumpkin cheesecake was a big hit!
And our little Christmas tree with the stockings and a couple of presents for the kids underneath it. We have decided to open gifts on December 28th......not only to celebrate Christmas, but to celebrate Paul's birthday. Plus it gives the kids a couple of extra days to get shopping and buy their gifts.
After staying up very late playing Milles Borne......it was time to call it a night.
Oh how I enjoyed this quiet Christmas spent with my little family.
