Today is Christmas Eve. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that continues to do some fantastic things for employees. They give us Turkeys, Hams and Lasagnas once a year, they throw a yearly company picnic and there is always a company Christmas Party. This year the party was split between two buildings. Since I’ve been with the company 8 years I’d seen the the main party location many times. This year I choose the alternate location and it was very nice.
Tonight Allison, Eva and I went downstairs for dinner with the family. Allison made meatloaf, broccoli, and potatoes. Tara made chicken fingers and fries Mom and Dad had a pizza from the new place down the street and a salad. Eva was happy to eat the olives and dip her broccoli into Shelby’s ketchup. Eva even got to sit in a new chair, no high chair for her. She sat in the same children’s chair that I, Tara and Shelby sat in as children.
We celebrated Tara’s birthday tonight with out pot luck dinner and ice cream cake. We were supposed to have some gluten free cupcakes, Erik special ordered them but someone in the chain of events on the delivery side dropped the ball. Oh the poor guy that screws up something for Erik. I pity that fool. Well, maybe tomorrow we’ll have the cupcakes.
We had a nice evening and Eva loved spending time with her her Memere, Grandfather, aunties and Taylor as well as Erik, and his parents Bonnie and Howard. Here is Eva and her aunties.
