Christmas Eve

Mum did not disappoint with dinner tonight. Delicious open faced crab sandwich, fresh pineapple and a green salad.
After dinner we played Santa and passed our gifts around. I got a black cashmere turtleneck and Chris got a plaid shirt from Mum.
A great surprise from Mr. A. was the hand drawn/colored drawing of the Vee.
We're putting it up on the wall to the left of the beer shelves in the dining room.

We also got a nice bag of food goodies from Harry & David. Flavored coffee, chicken noodle soup mix, cheese dip, olive salsa, dip (spinach, dill & sun dried tomato) mixes, scone mix and flavored coffee sprinkles. Mum loved her new calendar and the mugs/wine glasses I got that matched the color and theme of their house.

After presents Mum plated up some homemade banana cream pie and ice cream. She even made us some decaf in the new mugs I got her.
Now we're just winding down, watching a little Samantha Brown on the travel channel. Gotta get to bed at a decent time so that Santa can come leave the rest of my presents and so that we don't sleep through Christmas. Don't laugh, without children to wake you up, it's totally possible!
