Christmas Eve - 2007

For the first time, we had a Christmas eve dinner. It was really nice as Jenna, Ashley, and Charity helped with the food preparation. Nate, Casey, Jason, and Misty helped with clean up after.
You can see in this picture that everyone was eager to get started with the ham! We had a table full! The menu was ham, rolls, cauliflower, parsley potatoes, cranberries, cranberry jello, layered jello, sparkling cider, peppermint ice cream pie. Yum!
Charity HAD to watch her favorite Christmas movie - One Magic Christmas! You can see that no one else was too excited to watch it. Just a few minutes into the movie and Charity had disappeared without telling anyone that she was leaving. I found her in my bed reading a book. Apparently she had enough of her movie and didn't want to watch the rest of it. We told her she had to watch it so she came back downstairs for awhile so I could take this picture. Funny Charity!
Here's my new TV! Jason was a huge help to identify the best deal and where to get it. He was also awesome at helping me get it home. (Ask Charity about her role in traveling from Best Buy in Gresham to my house in Vancouver! She received a lot of nonverbal communication that made this day very memorable for us.) It was really nice of Jason and Ashley to come early and help me get ready for Christmas.












The hot spot for the Christmas holiday was on the couch in the family room with the laptop/internet and the TV. From left to right: Ashley, Jason, Casey, Jenna!








Here's a picture of Jason and Ashley assembling my new entertainment center and setting up my new TV. I was so exhausted. I went to bed and they had it all done when I got up in the morning! I love my new TV! Thanks for Jason for making this dream come true!
