After the crafting was over we cleaned up and got ready for Christmas Eve dinner. Before helping with dinner, Doug and I ran over to Rachel’s so I could give her a Christmas gift. I’m glad Doug was able to come too, because he got to spend some time talking with Brock.
Back at the Bell’s house, we helped set the table, and make last minute food. I LOVE the Bell’s traditional Christmas Eve dinner. It was sooooo good. But wait, don’t even get me started on the dessert we had. It was a definite party in my mouth. It was oreo crust with mint ice cream, then fudge or some type of chocolate, and whipped cream. Doesn’t that sound amazing? After dinner, Dad Bell gave us a spiritual message relating to how we spend our time and certain relationships that we need to continuously nourish. It’s a tradition in the Bell family that everyone that is there Christmas Eve gets a present related to the message. We got beautiful clocks that say Family’s are forever in the middle of it. Overall my first Bell Christmas Eve was a blast and one I will never forget.
After the festivities of the night were over at the Bell house we drove out to Stephanie’s house again so we could be with them on Christmas Morning. When we got to their house they were all in Steph’s bathroom getting their nails painted by Bree. Even Jason was getting in on that action. He had is finger nails painted a zebra print and his toes where just a plain color. We tried to get Doug to get his painted too, but he settled for a clear coat instead of a color.
