Christmas Eve at Our House
Each year, Christmas Eve’s have been an evening of warmth, love, and hilarity. This year was true to form.
It started as usual with going to Anchor’s Christmas Eve service. It’s a wonderful hour when we get to reflect and remember the reason for our Christmas season.
When arriving home, little Rubi got the evening started.

New outfits, a “R” for her room, rubber ducky bath toys!
Then it was Silas’s turn!

Then we arrived to the food portion of the evening. Petra insisted we have a crab feast!
Crabs, sparkling cider, shrimp, pernil, olivas, ribs, Dutch cheese

This year we added the video cam to the evening
Miquel wanted some dress clothes for work.

Silas tries on one of Uncle Meek and Jenny’s gift.
Perhaps the most romantic gift of the night, Miquel took one of their engagement photos and put it to a blanket for Jenny
What’s inside the big box for Miranda?
The firepit she wanted for warm and cozy fires!

Petra sent funds to add to the rest of ours to help mom buy some long-desired flooring. Mom is so happy as you can see here. We attached the money to a piece of flooring with our signatures. In Petra’s absence, I forged hers, hehe.
