Christmas Eve Doin's

It's been a busy day for Ma, which began with sleeping in. Hey...I'm getting old, after all!

The snow fell all night and continued throughout the day until sixish. Taking into account various snowfall reports from nearby towns, and working my careful method of triangulatory snow metrics, I figure we got around 8.5 inches.

Pretty good, considering we usually hit the low side of the tally.

Ma did a fair amount of the cookie business, this time, and my feet and legs are telling my age. Frankly, I've been whipped all week, so one of these days I am REALLY going to sleep in.

Got the presents wrapped and pulled the last tray of cookies out of the oven as we were sitting down to supper.

Here is the crew, looking all respectable, as usual.
Wait...who is that blocking out poor little Trevor from the picture?

Ohhh, big, bad brother Jason.

OK. Have to take another picture....
NOW what....the kid scooched down and I still can't see him....

Guess I'll have to give it another try.
With Jason holding his head firmly in place, we now see the errant child.

And people call me crazy. It's not me, it's them.

I'm an island of sanity amidst a sea of Hoyts.

For supper we had old-fashioned ham-n-bean soup (or leftover corn chowder, for those who preferred), fresh bread and butter, and applesauce.

Christmas cookies for dessert.

Good times around the table, as Jason and Derek taunted each other about who had the better college major.

Ah, family togetherness.

Hope everyone out there is with family or friends over the holidays.

Merry Christmas!
