It's Christmas Eve!

A couple days ago the kids made their gingerbread houses. Lets just say, Kent's house wasn't structurally sound. I don't know what the problem was; but right from the start we had problems. It collapsed three different times. When you see the pictures, that is why his frosting and candies look so tossed around, because it was. I did manage to secure it with tons of frosting and holding the roof and walls for like 10 min. It is still standing today. Samantha's house went up easy, no collapsed walls or roofs, and in my opinion, very pretty. I helped her with her house first, before Kent's. I had to go back and forth, because it was just me. Jeff was at work. It was a messy job, but loved it! Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Stafford for the gingerbread house kits.

Now today is Christmas Eve! Alright. Cheesy Christmas movies have been on today from the Hallmark channel, and Lifetime. We all went to Safeway to pick up my five-bone prime rib, and the butcher was super nice to me, he gave me a seven-bone roast, cut it into two roasts (my five bone, and two bone); and priced it very well, He also cut and tied it for me. I got a great deal. Jeff says it is because, he is the butcher that "loves" me. Oh boy. That prime rib, Jeff waits for all year. I cook that thing slowly, and season it just right. Drool. We usually eat it for a late lunch on Christmas, then cook the bones all day, to devour for dinner. Left overs galore! Drool. Jeff is steamed up today, and has his fire going in the little stove in the cabin. I am preparing to wrap all the presents, drink some eggnog, eat some Sees candy; relax and take in the family weekend of Christmas. God bless you all and may you all have a Merry CHRISTmas!

Yes, I will most likely blog tomorrow as well ;o)
