Merry Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, 2014

First thing in the morning on Christmas Eve, Chase and Nanaw made another trip to Walmart for more last minute Christmas shopping. Even at 8 in the morning, Walmart was already crowded. Chase and Nanaw made place cards for Christmas Eve dinner. Chase drew circles and dots on the paper and helped Nanaw put the Christmas stickers (dogs and cats in Christmas gear) on the place cards. Then Nanaw helped Chase make a Christmas card for Mama and Daddy. Then Chase watched while Nanaw put together a Christmas picture ornament for Mama and Daddy’s Christmas present from Chase. In the afternoon, Daddy stayed with Chase while Mama and Nanaw went to KFC to pick up the chicken for Christmas Eve dinner. Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky and all the cousins came for a major family Christmas celebration. Chase got lots of wonderful presents, including two Thomas pillows that Aunt Becky made for him (one for his house and one for Nanaw’s house), a wooden Thomas water tower, a talking James train and coal car from Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky, a Thomas puzzle, an Etch a Sketch, Lincoln Logs, and a Thomas rug. Nanaw got a church and a bait shop from the five grandchildren, a train station and a Christmas shoppe from Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky. From Mama, Nanaw got a stocking cap that says Mom, a Teddy Bear bubble gum jar labeled Nanaw, a Cardinals calendar, a gluten free cookbook, and a cat calendar – a very wonderful Christmas for everyone.
