| Foggy Christmas Morning in Bristow |
Up early of course, awakened by the girls about 6:00 so we could all go downstairs for Christmas. Hayden, who usually gets up at 10:00 or 11:00 was the first one up. Both girls were ready for bear. It's not exactly a white Christmas but a good day to stay inside. More about our day tomorrow. Right now it's 43ยบ and a dense fog advisory is in effect.
Yesterday, Drew and Evie made three more batches of cookies in the morning, the kids then delivered them in the afternoon to neighbors and friends. None of us did much yesterday, hanging out, wrapping presents on and off during the day. In early afternoon, Evie and I took the girls to Five Below, a crazy shopping store, to buy presents for their parents. While Evie and the girls shopped, I hit Sports Authority next store and picked up a fishing rod at half price for the summer. After Five Below, we all went to Chick Filet for lunch. The girls love eating there and even Halle ate all her meal.
When we got back, Evie and the girls wrapped presents for Drew and Jill, and Drew and I went out for a beer at a local brew pub, our usual routine, to settle the world's problems. We had an interesting wheat beer from Germany, Drew's favorite when he's in Germany.
For dinner, we made my son Tom's pasta with shrimp, asparagus, and sun dried tomatoes. With a salad and good bread, we were happy campers as they say. We were able to get the girls in bed by 10:00 and Jill and Drew stayed up, getting things ready for the morning but Evie and I went to bed around 11:00, leaving it to the youngsters to finish Santa's work. I am pretty sure I heard hammering around 1:30, so Drew was pretty busy till late. Or maybe it was Santa, I'm not sure.
