Prepping For Christmas Eve!

Who?  Me?

Today, we spent the day running errands and preparing for Christmas Eve.  We went to the store to buy paper for our printers, visited the Polish Deli (Polka Deli in Orange, CA) to get some fresh pierogis, and stopped by Albertson’s to buy $250 worth of groceries, most of it not on the list.  We are all set and ready to go for tomorrow!

We filled the shopping cart to the brim and are ready for tomorrow!

We got a little bit of everything, including beer for David, cherry pie for everyone, salad mixes, whipped cream, and a basket full of other items requiring us to use our unique skills to store them!

Out of the way, an overloaded cart is coming through.

Upon our return home, we had to reorganize all three refrigerators/freezers to accommodate the new purchases.  They now resemble Fibber McGee’s closet, with warning signs: “CAUTION WHEN OPENING!”

We look forward to family getting together, but we have a policy; you are welcome, but do NOT feel pressured!  If something else is in the way, go for it!

We are expecting:

  • David & Dianne
  • Robin, Bob, Kayla, and Nick
  • Jeff Smith
  • Zack, Becca, Lilly, and Bullet
  • Connor
  • Joe, Amy, Charlie, and Alex (Maybe Christmas Day?)
  • Us

Yes Indeed!!!

We watched three movies while preparing for tomorrow.  Mary was worried about everything being just right, so I gave her some advice!

The suggestion worked well!

We set up the tables and arranged the place settings, and Mary prepared many of the horses’ do-overs!

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!
