This year I hosted Christmas Eve dinner at my house. It's the first time in 30 years that I haven't spent Christmas Eve at my mother's or my Aunt Lillie's house. My sister Bonnie and I did the dinner which consisted of Ham, my mother's Potatoes Supreme, Raspberry Jello Salad, Rolls, Creamed Corn, and Eggnog Pie. My dad and step-mother, Faye came as well as Bonnie's family. After dinner we had a Red Velvet Birthday Cake for Baby Jesus and sang Happy Birthday to Him. Then we played the "Candy Bar Game" and put some puzzles together.
After everyone left, the girls opened their Christmas Books and slippers from me and Wes. After they got their PJ's on, our neighbors from across the street brought us some "Reindeer Food" to put out. Then we put cookies and milk out for Santa and went to bed. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad I was able to spend it with my family.

It looks like you had a fun Christmas Eve celebration. I am glad your Dad made the effort to spend the evening with you girls and your family.
I was thinking about how fun it was to see you guys in California in September. We should plan a Wilkerson posterity girl reunion!
Thank you for having it at your home! It was fun! Next year we can have it at my house!
