Once that was done I worked on the area around the pellet stove and then vacuumed the rest of the living room and under neath the chairs and coffee table. Then we took a couple of breaks because mom had to stay off her foot as much as possible. He has tendinitis in her foot and had to wear a walking boot for a few weeks.
We took a bunch of stuff that belonged in a shop or garage into the garage, neatly. Dad got all of his cartridge casings and boxes out of the family room and into the extra bedroom and his bathroom for the time being. They were in the family room for at least two to three months. We washed all of the door towels and futon blankets. We took another break for food and then watched part of A Christmas Story...a Christmas Eve tradition. We try to watch at least one showing of the 24-hour marathon on TBS.
Ben came over around 7:30 to come see me before he went over to his mom's house for dinner. We didn't know when Doug would show up so we let Ben open his presents because he had to be somewhere. He opened my presents, then dad's and then the one thing mom got him. Jonas helped him unwrap presents.
He went out and got mine. They were the climbing shoes we bought in Spokane a few weeks earlier. We took a few pictures before he had to leave.
Doug got home a little bit later. Mom and I did some of the dining room and decided to do family presents before dad fell asleep. We all went into the family room and did presents. I got a power stick (a device that allows you to charge your phone or Ipod without a power source) and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sweatshirt.
After presents we finished the dining room, did some laundry and mopped the floor. I went to bed around 1:30 that night. I really didn't want to get up at 9 tomorrow morning.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
Next Adventure: Christmas!
