We had a lovely time at Grandad and Grandnee's home, on Christmas Eve! I was beyond thankful that they hosted a lovely dinner and I could sit still for 2 hours to enjoy PEOPLE and not the hecticness of "The Night Before Christmas!" The table was set beautifully and we had chicken, potatoes, rolls, salad, and I brought a homemade macaroni and cheese!
Before dinner, we had a small photo shoot, haha! The kids tore through their "presents". They each got ONE gift and then Grandad and Grandnee loaded their wallets up with a crazy amount of cash. I hope to take the kids to the mall or to the Friendly Center in Greensboro for a day of shopping.
For dessert, I brought our traditional Happy Birthday Jesus Cake! The kids and I make Him one every year, but it looks a little different. This year, ours had the manger scene on it. I also brought some homemade oreo bark!
We also enjoy spending time with Darren's parents! Wonderful people, great memories...
Looks like a fun time. Is that Greensboro, NC? If so, I attended undergrad there, met my husband there, and lived there from 1986-1999.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's parents live in Roanoke, but the friendly center is in Greensboro.
