We decorated two small trees this year; and on Christmas Eve Day, we opted to deliver the bigger one to the Solomone Family in the downstairs flat for their Christmas. They are leaving for Kerribati after the New Year where Brother Solomone will be the new Vice Principal; and they weren't really planning on being here for Christmas...hence, no tree. The two boys loved it! (and we loved doing it!)
Not the traditional Collins' pull.a.part, but a sourdough waffle party with two other Senior Missionaries (the Hogges and the Wells) started our Christmas Day! Pineapple, maple, and strawberry syrups, flavored whip cream, blueberries, and jams to top our waffles, egg/bacon and cassava casserole, and juices, and lots of gabbing took up the morning. We do enjoy these couples!
Later in the day, we joined the Christiansens and the Watlings for a trip to Pacific Harbor for swimming and dinner!
Great food and entertainment! Elder Watling thought that the other Elders' Fish Platter Appetizers just looked awful! And they thoroughly enjoyed it (clams, oysters, shrimp, etc)--along with two more courses! All of the food was yummmy..and nicely presented!
Not your normal Christmas Day!
