Christmas Fun

 Although very different this year, Christmas was super fun just the three of us.
We opened presents, played a lot of games and Christmas dinner turned out great.
Pot Roast with Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Carrots, White Corn and Biscuits, all of our favorites.
I made apple crisp for desert ~ I did not take pictures of any of the food.

The hubs took this picture of the dinner table 
before we loaded it with food.

This game ended up being my favorite...
using the emojis provided, you had to guess the Christmas song.

Mike won the "Word Search"
he is really good at word searches...he won at Thanksgiving also!
The "Word Jumble" was a 3 way tie, 
all three of us unscrambled all 16 words.

The contents of our "Crackers" a hat, a silly toy and some jokes.
It's a Tradition, 
silly but fun, something we all look forward to.

I bought this Roomba for Mike,
he didn't want it (WHAT) so I inherited it, I needed a new one anyway.
I knew he might not want it, so I bought the one that I wanted, I will put my old one upstairs.

I named it "Alice" which is required when you download the App and register the vacuum.
This updated version, empties itself, when it returns to the docking station.
Watching it vacuum today, I can tell it is more efficient.

My sister bought me this dainty heart necklace, I love it.

My fiber friend Liz gave me this cookbook and I love it.
Each family from her son's school submitted their favorite recipe to make up this book.
There are some really good recipes in it.

Santa left this ornament under the tree for the hubs and I.
I love it and think it is perfect for us!

Your Christmas and Christmas dinner sounds wonderful. We also had pot roast for xmas dinner. We didn't play any games together though... but we did talk and text family and friends, sat by the fire, and took naps! Kids dropped off and picked up gifts outside and we did get to play with new puppy on the front lawn!

Debbie - did you make the gingerbread house on your Christmas table? It is lovely. Where did you get the games? I am always looking for new games for our family to play! I was disappointed with the Christmas crackers that I bought this year - they only had a toy and a hat!!! Belated Merry Christmas, and wishing you the very happiest of New Year's!

I love your fun personality and all the fun thing you do. The games look very fun and I love that you son was there to enjoy it all with you both. The bike ornament is the best. I would love to get a Roomba sometime. Maybe share with me the one that you got.
The necklace was lovely and a good cook book is awesome.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs!
