…the whole world looks like gingerbread men…! We were playing with some funky special effect glasses my nephews had.

The result of previous parties…
You know you're crazy uncle David when you're banned from certain chairs…. I still think it was someone else that bent it previously!?
The evening at Stef’s
We've always had Christmas Eve dinner with Julie's side of the family. I like how cute Steff has her house set up. We enjoy eating, games, catching up, and laughing.
Christmas Eve mounting solution…
It just so happened, that my Bulletpoint mounting stuff showed up during a lull in the festivities. I went out and screwed it into my Jeep real quick. I managed to repurpose the kids old school iPad for a trail navigation, instrument and mapping screen. Super simple to mount and seems like it will work nicely. I added a touch of red in the process.
Gaming for Christmas?
After we opened gifts with the kids, Johnny brought his emulator over and we enjoyed playing some of the retro PS1 and PS2 games we used to play when they were kids. We used to be able to wipe the floor with them, not any more…!

A Christmas surprise…
Andy made all these memes while he was working at Subway years ago. In the lower left corner, you can see the instructions he left with them. Over the years, everyone he's use to work with has moved on so there isn't anyone there that even know who Andy was. Out of the blue on Christmas Eve he gets a text from someone asking if he wants to come get them! They had started taking them down and then noticed his note when they got to it. He ran right down, put a few back in place, and was happy to see it again. I think it will have a place of honor in his apartment❣️ It was a fun little surprise while we were finishing up opening gifts. He couldn't believe they reached out, and I couldn't believe he's thought to leave instructions, haha!
John and Savannah found the PERFECT shirt for Andy!
He's known to drink a half gallon at a time right from the jug…! I have proof of that in my blog posts from the past ;)

Fun and thoughtful gifts from the kids!
Andy is going to help me rebuild the barn doors! I love the little set of doors he made to "give" it to me. I even like his creativity on the to/from names. Of course he's mister M18 Milwaukee battery tool guy. Savannah made me a great little basket and she and John got me a "dog rated" and "emotional support vehicle" badge for my Jeep. The basket even doubles as a really comfy and warm hat, hahaha. All kidding aside it's the perfect size and made out of a unique nylon yarn. I love all the thought and love they all put into my gifts.
And here comes THESE two…
…in their Winnie the Pooh PJs! Fun that they can walk across the street for the festivities on Christmas Eve.
