Chase and Daddy went to church on Christmas morning, after Chase opened his presents. Nanaw was very glad she'd done a lot of the food preparation for Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, even though it meant staying up much too late. She prepared the stuffing, the fruit salad, the seafoam salad, and the green beans. She got the turkey ready to go in the oven, and Mama came over at 12:20 to put it in. It' was pretty heavy and hard for Nanaw to lift into the oven. And Mama was gracious enough to offer to help Nanaw. After that, Mama and Nanaw went to Walgreens for their traditional Walgreens Christmas Day visit. Nanaw needed to get Kool-Aid Jammers for the boys to drink at Christmas dinner. Mama had to get medicine for Chase's face -- he's broken out with pimples -- the boy is growing up, bless his heart. After Walgreens, Mama and Nanaw went back to Chase's house so she could see his Christmas presents. His favorite present was the video game NHL 2024. Mama said it was one of the first presents he opened. Another favorite was something called Play Ball. It's a hockey stick with a curved bottom that balls fit into. Chase had a goal target set up in the garage that he could use to hit the ball into. Daddy said he thinks Chase will improve his hockey skills with the stick. Nanaw's granddaughter Kris was the first one to arrive for dinner. Then came Uncle Mike, Aunt Becky, Irina, and Nyeal. Next, was cousin Nichole and her husband Jon Jon. Next, was cousin Joe with his girlfriend Julia and her two children Jeremy and Hudson. Cousin Lindsey and her boyfriend Dylan were next to arrive. Cousin Robbie and his girlfriend Claudia arrived almost at the end of dinner. There were 18 for dinner, with Hudson in a high chair. There wasn't room for everybody at the long table so they set up a card table off to the side for Chase and Jeremy. The presents and dessert were wonderful. Chase was excited and happy about his TV and keyboard. He played with the new keyboard in his room for a long while. The second picture is of Mama sitting in the kitchen with the new chair Daddy bought for her. She's very excited about it because it has a cooler on one side and a table on the other.
