Hislop "Christmas Eve" Party

The Hislop "Christmas Eve" party was held on Friday, Dec. 23rd. We had the regular menu of turkey, Linda's potatoes and spinach salad, Grandma Grace's recipe for raspberry jello and cranberry salad, rolls, and chocolate dessert. As usual, Santa came--he didn't get lost this year. We opened presents. Jill's family had us. They gave us movies: "Newsies", "The One and Only, Genuine, Family Band," "The Shaggy Dog," & "Dolphin's Tale," wood blocks that spell FAMILY, candy for Chris, and something else. Grandma and Grandpa gave us a blue-ray player. Maggie got indoor soccer shoes, Allie got 2 movies, and we forgot what Cooper got. We had the Meikles. Andy got Victoria Secret lotion. Kim got a trifle bowl. Wakely got a snowboard and Yahtzee. Drew got a snowboard and "Soul Surfer." Henry got an art kit and slippers. I love finding presents for others. I love Christmas and how fun it is.
