Merry Christmas!

Well the big day is almost here. Amazingly, I feel somewhat prepared. Knock on wood. I have some appetizers to kick out today and of course some cleaning. Very little wrapping and I will be done and able to enjoy the rest of the weekend. Max and Barry are going to go hunting this afternoon which will be great for Lucy. She really needs some excercise. What kind of dog chews glass ornaments?!!!!! Mom and Niki will be here this afternoon. Niki has been working this last month as a UPS driver helper and is looking forward to a hot tub to soothe her aching body. Poor gal is really beat up! She worked hard and got a letter of recommendation from her driver. We are all hoping and praying for a better year for her. So we have a full line up on the menu. We are going to try a baked potato bar for Christmas Eve. All kinds of toppings and I am going to cook the potatoes in the crockpot! I know half of my potato is going to to have chili!!!
Breakfast casserole in the morning with fresh eggs from our very happy hens! We are back to getting 4 - 5 eggs a day. Lots of appetizers to get us through the day and then dinner will be my Mom's yummy meat lasagne and I made a seafood lasagne in a white sauce . Should be epic! Our holiday beverage will be a pointsettia. Prosseco, splash of vodka with cranberry juice!
Garry and Susan will be here on Christmas day so we will have a full house. I am sure we will have a fire in the firepit and lots of hot chocolate to keep the boys warm!
I got mmy Christmas present early this year. Barry got us a laptop. I am cuddled up on the couch with my Cooper instead of isolated in the computer room.
So I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas holiday! Ours is looking pretty good so far!
