K gift exchange for C and C

Hello Family -

Merry Christmas! Thanks to Mom and Chaz for our gifts this year. Chaz was afraid that his gift to Charles was lame - but we can't wait to pick out our Kansas City steaks! Yum! Mom prepared me that my gifts were phonetically. The candlesticks are wonderful additions to my Christmas mantle. Also, Mom gave me a K tree ornament. Mom wrapped up my gifts with beautiful paper, ribbon and gold snowflake ornaments. Izzy loves her puppy treat and toy too!



Charles and I did not exchange gifts, but decided to purchase a new grill in the coming months. We joked to say we woke up in our gift - the house!

We spent Christmas Day at Katherine and Mike's house. Before we opened up gifts, we had a yummy brunch of french toast, fruit and sausage. Stockings are always first, and every year the stocking theme is a bit different. This year, everyone purchased items for one person, with all the items starting with a letter. I had N (noodles, choc nuggets, nail file, nail polish) from Susan and Charles had L (Lowe's gift card, Little Debbies and Lamisil) from Sarah.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing, eating and drinking. Dinner was tasty - beef tenderloin, , potatoes, pineapple casserole, asparagus, rolls. My favorite is Mike's peach melba for dessert.
