Christmas Eve...Food, Family, and Awesome Gifts

Every Christmas Eve we have my mom and stepfather, and my brother and his family over for presents and dinner. We always have way too much food and probably way to many presents, but boy we have fun. I love getting together with my family. My brother is one of my best friends and I love the time we spend together. And, of course, my mom is well, she's my mom. What else can you say. She's a great mom and I love her so much.


I have to show you what she made me for Christmas. I think she is one talented lady and very creative. I wish I could do just a little of what she does. Thankfully, she shares her talents with me by giving me what she's made. I have always been, and still am, a little spoiled...maybe a lot spoiled, by my mama. Just being real here. Forty one and still spoiled; I hope it never changes.



We had a huge breakfast for Christmas Eve dinner. I love breakfast for supper.


My mom and stepdad. Mom always loves to watch us open the gifts she has so thoughtfully picked out. It excites her to see our expressions.

My brother, nephew and his wife.


My sister-in law and neice.


The awesome, incredible, wonderful placemats my mom made from Coffee Bean bags. Can you tell I love them?


Didn't she do great?

And my bag. I lOVE this bag.

Again, I say, LOVE...Thanks mom, for knowing just what I like.
