Christmas Eve, Sunday, December 24, 2017

On Christmas Eve morning, Nanaw came over to visit Chase. She brought along Tee Tee's present, the one that Chase picked out for him at Dollar Tree. Chase put it under the Christmas tree in the living room so that Tee Tee could open it on Christmas morning. Chase and Nanaw played in Chase's room. He wanted to play with his zoo. Nanaw looked for it in the top toy box but it wasn't there. And there wasn't an easy way to get into the bottom toy box so they found other things to play with. Chase played his Charlie Brown Christmas lights on his tree for Nanaw, the ones she bought for him at Big Lots. They played with Chase's kitchen and his stuffed animals on his bed. Nanaw admired his animal hammock and rearranged some of the animals. Then they went into the kitchen and played with the crash dummies on the kitchen table. Unfortunately, one of the dummies got injured: His leg fell off and Daddy wasn't able to glue it back on. Then Mama got out the Santa cookies that she had made earlier, and Mama and Chase decorated them with red and white icing. In the afternoon, Mama, Daddy and Chase went out to Grandma Pat's and Aunt Patty's house in Wentzville for the family Christmas celebration. Nanaw went to Sherry and Dan's house and saw Uncle Doug and Aunt Rita and Ryan and Greg, plus Sherry's family.
