Christmas Eve

We usually spend Christmas Eve at Nick's parents but his dad works the graveyard shift and sadly he had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas. So, we spent this Christmas Eve at my mom's house with her boyfriend and his son, Anthony, and his son's girlfriend, Rochelle, and my brother. Mom made delicious prime rib, mashed potatoes complete with gravy, fresh green beans, and a salad. She had the chocolate Godiva cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. It is flourless so we can eat it and holy cow it is way rich, but oh so good. A few of us opened gifts and we watched It's a Wonderful Life. It was a really relaxing and fun evening.
