Christmas Eve Dinner

Sheila and I had a very nice and quiet Christmas Eve dinner here at home as we usually do each year.  Most of the horrendous weather is behind us and the power is back on in our house.  We do have branches down all around the house but we fared very well compared to others especially those who are still without power.  We only lost power for an hour and a half.  

Today was a nice Christmas Eve spent at home ending with a nice dinner.  Well...  I may have something for dessert....

As I usually do, I made a rib roast for dinner.  We also had mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh green beans with chopped garlic in oil, au jus, and dinner rolls.  It was pretty good food but the dinner with Sheila was very nice, as always.  It is always nice to make something special for dinner for special occasions and tonight was one of those occasions.

Tomorrow we have another rather quiet day filled with prep for our Christmas celebration with all the grandkids the following day.  Although it will be quiet here at the house, it should be a nice Christmas day.  We're in no rush to get through Christmas but I think we are both looking forward to the morning after Christmas with the grandkids.
