My family knows me so well! My sister and BIL surprised us with dough balls
from a delicious liege waffle restaurant nearby, without knowing that Ben and Cat
had already gotten me a Belgian waffle maker for Christmas. So I got to open up my
gift a day early and we had the most delicious breakfast ever. Yeah!
Suz and I had some Christmas story time with the kids, letting them each choose
a Christmas story for us to read while we were comfy with pillows and blankets.
The kids were excited to have another Bethlehem Dinner this year, and we changed
our menu a bit. Just like last year we had homemade hummus (thanks to Suz) and pita bread,
nuts-to-be-cracked, grapes, and olives. But we sampled some olives from our grocery store's
olive bar to expand our palates a bit, and added some cured meats and red peppers. Probably not the most authentic meal ever, but that's okay. I think the kids enjoy the
candles (especially if they float) and nut-cracking as much as anything else.
Luke was too grumpy to stay up through the reading of Luke 2, so I missed most of it
while I was putting him to bed. That means he also missed the chance to sleep with the
other kids in the play room. They sure looked cute all lined up and trying so hard
to go to sleep quickly so that Christmas would come sooner.
