Christmas Adam and Eve 2024

We didn't really have the Christmas Adam get together on that day, but it was the Sunday before.  Juge invited everyone up for a bring soup and something dinner at her house.  Afterwards the adults got together for games and the littles went upstairs and played X-box games, etc.  It was a really fun evening.  I was not up for hosting and was grateful that Juge volunteered.  (We had Ross and Lerlyn for a quick visit to see Anna Lou on their way home from their son's house in Provo. They left Sunday morning.)  The food was wonderful and the games were really fun.  Moss and Supe and Jay's families couldn't make it.  But we had fun with who we had.  Kennis and Tavin were already down for Christmas from school up north, so it was fun to have them there with Ferf and her other kids. (Gaige is on a mission.)  

Paul and I started the day with a walk at the Town Square.  It is so pretty all lit up for Christmas.  Later we decided to go for a drive out Cottonwood Road.  (Paul had meat in the smoker and we didn't need to make Christmas Eve dinner yet.)  It's so beautiful out there with all of the different geology to enjoy.  After that we decided to drive over to see if Oak Grove campground was still open.  Along the way we took the little hike around the Children's Forest and old charcoal kiln.  The signs at the forest that tell about different plants had all been redone by children from an elementary school in Hurricane.  The last time we had gone they were all broken or unreadable, so this was really nice.  We went over to the old charcoal kiln that's there.  It's such a cool old historic building.  It turned into a really beautiful and relaxing drive.  Then was back home and time to get started on Christmas Eve dinner preparations.
