Merry Christmas Eve

Today went off just as anticipated. Daddy was determined to go through the day with no yelling and he managed to do just that. I did get frustrated early in the day but managed to get it under control and the rest of the day went off without a hitch and just lots of fun!

This morning we made some yummies for the neighbors. Daddy Piper and S got more wood for the fireplace while J, L and I finished the treats. We had a snacky kind of lunch since we were going to have an early dinner. Well that turned into a full lunch. I was worried no one would have an appetite at 4 for dinner. No worries - dinner wasn't until 5 anyway :- ) Daddy Piper and the kids delivered the goodies (**how funny - story below**). While they were gone, I was finishing up dinner, mainly the whiskey sauce. I couldn't find the beef stock to make the sauce. I had everything made up to the adding the stock. I couldn't find that stuff anywhere. When I got home from Target last night, Daddy Piper helped put away the stuff. He didn't put the stock away where I would have put it. So today while making the sauce, I started to get super upset and then put it into perspective and let it go - not worth getting upset. I text him and he sent L home to tell me where it was : -)

Dinner was a ribeye roast, green bean casserole, roasted potatoes and fresh fruit. It was delicious.

J has been running a fever. Poor guy. I think it's just his teeth.
Tonight was the service at church. We attended as a family!! We did leave early though because J's fever spiked again :-(
Tonight we took the pic of me with the kids in our matching jammies - an annual tradition from L's first Christmas.

*** The neighbor brought over a goodie box. I had told Daddy Piper I couldn't imagine him delivering my baked goods for me. Then later in the day - that's exactly what happened. It was pretty funny.
