Thursday Evening, December 24
Jere and Kristen invited us to join them and Roy and Deb in their Christmas Eve tradition of going to see a family movie at Penn Cinema and supper at their house.
Ian, Josh, Jared, Jana, Jesse, Allie
It was almost like having a private viewing, as it was our group and maybe six or eight other people.
Love unposed pictures! 🙂
I gave them a second chance, and expect they will like this one better. However, they are still covering Jared’s face with the popcorn container.
This year they went to see The Road Chip – an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.
Oh, what fun!
It was a combination of Roy and Deb’s house “The Nut Hut” and the movie Home Alone.
I didn’t even like taking a bathroom break because I didn’t want to miss the action.
When they discovered that their “dad” was dating this young man’s mother, they did all kinds of things to keep them apart – because they didn’t like each other. Buy the end of the movie they liked each other and did every thing they could to get their parents together again. 🙂
The four got in all kinds of trouble in both situations.
This was the evening sky when we left the cinema.
The drive to Jere and Kristen’s house.
The sunset at Jere and Kristen’s house.
Lighting candles before supper
I brought homemade bread – cheesy/herb and wheat – baked by our niece Amy.
A pretty bowl ready for taco soup
Frosty – a newly rescued animal at Roy and Deb’s – was a highlight of the evening.
His mama gave birth to quadruplets – one died at birth and she made it clear that she wasn’t going to take care of the runt.
Of course, that is exactly the kind of animal Roy and Deb love to give a chance at life. He already has a lot of people asking to be his forever parents.
Yes, he his calling for food – “baaaaa!”
That was a fun evening – thanks Jere and Kristen for inviting us.
What a fun tradition, and the movie looks like fun too! Love the shots of wee Frosty!
We loved being part of their tradition. Frosty is so cute and tiny.
