T Stands For Christmas in Pennsylvania

The weather cooperated, and we took a trip to Pennsylvania to spend Christmas with The Eldest. She added some cinnamon sticks to her artificial wreath. She had gotten behind in decorating.

She had wanted multi-colored lights to add to her tree. Her sister and Himself got them on and lit.

While she added the finishing touches to decorating.

The TARDIS. My favorite ornament on her tree.

The Eldest had to work the evening shift on Christmas Eve. We hung out at her apartment watching the Doctor Who marathon. I baked and cleaned up. I left a note for Santa with a couple of (Keto) chocolate chip cookies before we went back to the hotel.

Dear Santa,

We've been good this year. At least we try to use our powers for good.

Hope you enjoy the cookies. Didn't know what you would like to drink. There's water, coffee, tea, or Mountain Dew. Help yourself.

Merry Christmas,

The Kennedys

P.S. Sorry that there's no carrots for the reindeer. Though there are frozen carrots in the California Medley in the freezer. ❤

Christmas morning. Santa was here!

We opened gifts before a "roaring fire" in the "fireplace" courtesy of Roku while Christmas tunes played in the background. After opening gifts,

The Eldest cooked us breakfast. (Keto) pancakes (from a gluten free mix I brought with me), scrambled eggs, and 

bacon cooked in the oven. 

Since her frying pan was so small, she could only do one pancake at a time. I sipped a cup of tea in the new mug The Young One gave me. She knows me so well.

While sipping tea, I surveyed the Christmas debris. Looked a lot like Christmas leftovers when the girlies were little.

After breakfast and cleaning up, the Eldest put the turkey in the oven to roast. 

She set the table with some pretty Christmas dishes and linen napkins. She made a salad, vegetables, and stuffing from a mix for herself and her sister.

I had made a Keto Stuffing for Himself and me. I had some almond milk to help drain the carton. I had used the almond milk to make Keto eggnog which we had in the afternoon, but I forgot to take a picture.

For dessert we had (Keto) brownies (which the girlies didn't care too much for) and Halo Top ice cream. I had a cup of tea in the pretty, holly mug The Eldest gave me. She knows what I like.

We had a lovely day and a good time was had by all.
