Christmas 2025

 At 8:00 0n December 25th, we are winding down on on another Reeder Gibson Christmas, and once again we celebrated well. 

Christmas Eve was at the Reeder Homestead. Dinner was a cooperative affair. Jill brought the steak and crab and asparagus. Linda supplied salad, scalloped potatoes and cardamom rolls. Jake made the sweet potato fries. 

Irene added to the cookies we all had been baking for more than a week. 

After a leisurely dinner we ate dessert and watched some classic Christmas videos. 

Christmas morning we gathered at Jill's house. We opened stockings and then had brunch. 

The cats got stockings too.

Jake made coffee.

Irene decorated my Cardamom wreath bread.

Jill cooked eggs and sausage. 

We all ate. :-)

Then it was time to share gifts. They were abundant.

We had fun as we opened them one at a time. 

Then we played games. So did the cats. 

Some of us rested. Mr. Whiskers enjoyed the wrappings. 

Later there was more food.

Jake tried out his new tent.

And we played a Lego game. 

As some of us departed for our own homes, we all were left with full tummies and full hearts from another wonderful family Christmas.

And for sure we are feeling fortunate and blessed to have such a family and the comforts in which to celebrate.
