Eve of Xmas - Wonderful Life of Jimindy



 
Up around 720am to receive/greet Landon & Rocky. We agreed to watch them so Lindsey could work.
Mindy was up fairly early too. Joined me downstairs shortly after 8am.

Left for a run around 9am. Ran 3 miles. Organized my clothes and gear for HV.

Raining. Made a run to Target to p/u photos for Pat & Lisa. Also stopped at Kroger to p/u a bottle of Rumpleminze for Glenn. Picked up ice and two six packs of CBC IPA for HV trip, too.

Home. Helped Mindy prepare home for Wright family Xmas eve celebration.

Lindsey got off work early. At the house before 3pm. Others arrived over the next hour, including Shelly, Kaileigh, Sienna, Trip, Tommy, Wally, Dad, Ashley, Steven, and Olivia. Of course, mom & Glenn were already there.

Tommy shows up in upper Santa suit. Nice! Take photos of Tommy with others. Drank Southern Tier XXmas Ale most of the afternoon.

Gifts before dinner. Roast beef was tender and delicious. I didn’t eat much. House was pretty much a disaster after the party. Aside from Glenn and mom, all were gone by 730pm. Our kids got home around 730pm after spending the last 6 days with Jimaken.

Niece Lindy & now fiancé, Josh came over to show off the engagement ring. We only learned about it the day before and had a gift waiting for them. Took photos and posted to Facebook.

After the kids headed to bed, we watched It’s a Wondeful Life – 1946. Helped Mindy put the kids gifts around the tree near 11pm. After she headed for bed, I carried hers in from my stash in the garage. Glenn and I watched some of the Xmas Eve mass from St Peter’s basilica. Headed to bed only to find Mindy still awake doing her puzzle. She and I watched some of the mass from bed. Soon asleep.
