The traditional Christmas Eve dinner in Dave's family is seafood chowder. Judy's mom always made it, and so she does. I love the seafood chowder. One of the sad things about not being close enough to be with Bob and Judy on Christmas Eve was missing out on the seafood chowder. (And missing them, too.) This year since Bob and Judy came out to celebrate Gavin's first Christmas with us, we decided to gather the ingredients so that Judy could make her chowder for us.We bought the shrimp, crab legs, lobster tails, and salmon. All the seafood was cooked and prepared. The potatoes were diced, along with the onion and celery. Judy added her magic to make her delicous soup.
Instead of going to candlelight services at church, we decided to stay in due to the weather. Mason loved the snow.
Without church, Gavin had to provide our entertainment for the evening. He was happy to oblige.
GrandBob and Gavin play.
Gavin got into bed at his usual time. Dave and I were in bed by 10, since Gavin had us up early. It's a good thing. Gavin woke up at 1:15; I guess he was excited about Santa. At 2:30, I put him in bed with us, where he finally drifted to sleep, after he rotated crossways in the bed so that I was getting kicked all night, and Dave was being headbutted.
