Pre-Christmas Christmas

Since Scott and Sarah are driving to Tennessee for Christmas to celebrate with her parents and sister and their new-born nephew, they will miss our family's usual Christmas Eve dinner and gift exchange, so we had them over yesterday for an early Christmas. Ellen prepared a delicious red snapper meal with all the trimmings...




... and her new cockatiel, BB, was a hit with everyone...


The gift exchange provided all with stuff they had wished for, so all gifts were the "perfect" ones...




We'll miss them Thursday night at my place as 20+ relatives gather as our extended family of cousins has gathered for over 7 decades, but it was nice to get together with them today. Merry Christmas to everyone, and I hope all of you are able to enjoy the festivities with their your ones.
