Christmas Eve Dinner

Our original plan was to head down to Provo and spend Christmas Eve with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, sledding and just hanging out. That did not happen. We went Sunday night to the family dinner, and our kids were just too sick. We opted to stay home Christmas Eve and have a Christmas movie marathon. We watched:

• How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon version)
• A Charlie Brown Christmas
• HogFather parts I and II
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas (cartoon version) again
• A Charlie Brown Christmas again
• It's a Wonderful Life

One thing, we weren't sure about was dinner. We were planning on ordering pizza or something easy in Provo, so I had not bought anything. Around 1pm in the middle of the Hog Father, or doorbell rang. It was our home teachers. They brought in a ham, some potatoes, rolls, olives, green beans and corn,  two desserts, and some chocolates. I got it all cooking around 3 and we had a nice Christmas Dinner. In fact, We have had the ham twice now and I think we will get two more meals out of it.

Most of us stayed in our pajamas on Christmas Eve.
