Thanks to a very generous gift from the Beck family, Jessica and I were able to catch a standby flight home to be with the Cornelison family for christmas eve and EARLY christmas morning!We had a fabulous visit. Together we saw a community performance of Beauty and the Beast, we ate delicious food, we walked the local christmas light lane and sang carols and drank hot cocoa (not all at the same time), and most importantly we celebrated my bithday!
We also had the opportunity to join Grandma and Grandpa with all the fam for the traditional Christmas Eve party.
The dinner table had all the "must haves" of the holiday from spicy jalapeno stuffed green olives to Grandpa's famous punch. Grandma's candies were as scrumptious as ever, and combined with the sugar flowing from the pinata and the candy bar game, we'll all be soaring on a sucrose high for quite a while.
It was a special treat to have Great-grandma with us. The Christmas Party really encapsulates all of what is so memorable about the season when we all get together and make extra effort to show our families that we love them! And we'll treasure those moments together until we can all get together and do it again!
