Tuesday 12-24-24 Christmas Eve Celebration with Louise and Alice

 

Christmas Celebration with Louise and Alice

We had a super day. We started out with the temperature of 65 degrees and the high got to 75. A front came through in the evening with rain. It poured down rain for a bit and stayed around..

Before going to bed last night I did the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. I did the event, which was Event: Medium Mayhem Mini of 15 games. It took me 52 minutes and 4 seconds, which put me in 21st place in my group. Then I played Angry Birds.

I also played four games of pinball. They were The Nightmare Before Christmas, Lethal Weapon 3, Fish Tales and NASCAR. While playing The Nightmare Before Christmas I almost made a new high score for my weekly challenge. I had a great time playing pinball.

While I played games Larry worked on his mini pinball cabinet. He received some parts yesterday for the cabinet. He is working on installing two more amplifiers. He needs to make mounts to hold the amplifiers. 

We went to Louise's house to celebrate Christmas, we got there around 2:30. We were there until 7:00. Louise and Alice met us at the door. Larry wore a red shirt, white pants and suspenders. I wore a red shirt, red blouse and Christmas socks. Before dinner we visited and snacked on fudge, chocolate chip cookies, brownies and a relish plate with pepperoni, pepper jack cheese slices, cheddar cheese chunks and pickles. For dinner we had chili, Fritos and corn bread. After dinner we opened our gifts. It took a couple of hours. We got a lot of great gifts from Louise, Shirley (Larry's mom) and Barbara. We had a super Christmas celebration with Louise and Alice.

We got home about 8:00, just before the rain came. We unloaded the gifts from the car and put them away. Then we relaxed in front of the television. We watched a couple of episodes of the fourth season of Elementary. When Larry went to bed I watched a Christmas movie on Amazon called The Holiday. It was about two single women, who switch homes for the holidays and fell in love. One woman lived in L.A and the other one lived in England. Then I watched an episode of the third season of Everwood. I ended up doing 18,000 steps, which put me in fifth place in my group.
