Christmas started this year with going to my parents' house on December 23rd to celebrate with my parents and siblings. Of course, the house was as beautiful as if I had stepped into a magazine.
The food was delicious (homemade chicken pot pie was the main course) and so was the dessert- fudge and individual-sized cheesecake bites...YUM!
The last few years, my mom has put an ornament at the table for each one of us. Ben got a train since we had a lot of funny experiences and memories from the trains in Europe this summer.
Mine was a pair of high-heeled shoes that Mom made herself- how cute!
She also made Jenn an ornament of a jewelry box...
...and Leslie one of a purse!
It was fun exchanging presents and having my grandma in town from Illinois to join in the fun with us.
Just look at all these presents from where I was sitting!
Of course, we had our traditional scavenger hunt with the clever clues my dad makes up each year. The last clue this year lead to the garage door opener, so we all went out to the garage to find our best presents- for me and Ben, a stainless steel dishwasher!!
For Wes and Leslie, a couch, and for Jenn and Scott, 2 patio heaters! What a great surprise and a great Christmas!!
