Christmas Eve 2016

I went to Dad & Ma's for our annual Christmas Eve family get-together last night.

Dad & I watched the 2nd half of the Patriots' destruction of the Jets. I had some pepperoni, cheese and crackers. Kevin's clan arrived. Sarah's clan arrived (minus Hayden, who had popped in earlier). Then we ate dinner (I had meatballs with mushrooms & gravy, dinner rolls, and mac & cheese - very low-key) and watched more football.

The girls all loved the art supplies (high-quality drawing pads and colored pencils/art pencils). Jared & Drew liked the Hot Wheels, and Ma was thrilled with the Blue Moon glasses. Plus: Dad is psyched for the Celtics game on January 18th.

I lucked out (as usual), with the following:

From Kevin's family: $15 in scratch tickets.
From Sarah's family: $25 Amazon GC (gift card).

From Dad & Ma:

  • A 3-pack of Strathmore paper pads (sketch/newsprint/drawing).
  • $15 Starbucks GC.
  • $25 Barnes & Noble GC.
  • $50 Master Card GC.
  • Two "Life is Good" brand tee shirts (see images below).
  • A brown tweed & leather Red Sox cap (see below).
  • A pound of Starbucks Christmas Blend ground coffee.
  • A 19 oz tub of soft peppermint candy.
  • A pair of GreenLife frying pans.
  • A box of wooden matches and a giant Yankee Candle (Christmas Wreath scent).
They always take care of their 4 kids, I am lucky to be one of them!
