Last night was Christmas Dinner at our house. It was great. Everyone was here except for Cait and Kathryn, and we missed them a lot. There were 14 of us in all. I don't have pictures, 'cause we took them with Vann's camera and he hasn't downloaded them yet. Will post pics later. The guest list included: Jed, Joanne, Ramey, India, Buffy, Jason, Reed, Andy, Jesse, Phillip, Carrie, Amy, and me and Vann. Oh, and Sophie, of course.
Reed (who just turned one) was the star of the night. It was so much fun to watch him open his gifts and play with them. He loves tissues paper and gift bags the most. And once he gets warmed up, he can talk a blue streak. Nobody (except maybe his mom) knows what he's saying, but it's still fun to listen. We all remembered a time (it seemed to us all such a short time) when Jesse was the same age.
Dinner was good, built around some of Jesse's favorite foods. He was quite disappointed at Thanksgiving, since he doesn't like turkey or dressing or any of the things I had. But last night I had ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, and brown rice casserole--all of which he likes. He eschewed the rest (green bean casserole, slaw, sweet potato casserole, and 17 kinds of dessert), but he was happy. Jason, who is a wonderful baker, brought homemade braided bread. To my taste buds, it was the best thing on the menu--but then I'm a bread addict (one of my problems).
Today it's church, then lunch with Lori, then home to get ready to leave for Camilla in the morning. When Christmas is over, I plan to lie down for a long time.
