Christmas Eve
We had a super day. The morning temperature was 65 degrees and the high was 80 degrees. It's hard to believe it's December and it's 80 degrees.
Today we spent the afternoon with Louise and Alice in Round Rock, it's Christmas Eve and we open our presents on this day. We arrived at Louise's house at 2:30 pm and were back at our house at 7:40 pm.
When we arrived Louise and Alice came out to greet us. Alice wanted me to run around the yard with her but I was busy taking our Christmas gifts inside the house. I put our gifts under Louise's Christmas tree. She had a lot of Christmas decorations throughout the house. It looked very nice.

Louise installed a new echo show in her bedroom to replace the one that went bad. It updated some of her devices to Alexa + and some of her previous commands no longer worked correctly. Larry got the commands to work but it took a little while. It took him longer because Louise and I kept asking Alexa to do something. He asked us to stop. When we did he was able to fix the commands. She's one happy woman.
Louise put a relish tray together with sweet pickles, cheese and pepperoni for us to snack on before dinner. She also had peanuts. While we snacked we visited. When had our Christmas Eve dinner about 4:00. It was chili, Fritos and cornbread. Louise made the chili and cornbread. The meal was very good. For dessert we had apple pie.
After dinner we opened our gifts. This took us a couple of hours. We received a lot of wonderful gifts from Louise, Shirley and Barbara. Thank you all.

After opening our gifts we had dessert. Then we thanked Louise for dinner and said our good-byes. It took us an hour to get home.
Before going to Louise's to celebrate Christmas I did my housework. Today I had to use my old vacuum (canister and chord in) because my battery operated vacuum battery died.

Larry ordered me a new cordless vacuum off of Amazon and it should be here Saturday. They don't make the same vacuum that I have so he order another one. The new vacuum will have two batteries in the kit. This will be my Christmas gift.
Larry replaced a switch for the dining room light and ceiling fan. Then he programmed it to work with Alexa.
I played five pinball games. They were Iron Man, Metallica, Monster Bash, Nightmare Before Christmas and Tron. While playing Iron Man I became Grand Champion and Monster Bash I became high score #1. I had a great day of pinball.

I played my Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong before going to bed last night. When we got home I played the event, which was Event: Tri Peaks Mini of 5 games. It took me 10 minutes and 9 seconds, which put me in 13th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.
We watched a movie on Prime Video called IF. It was a cute movie about people growing up and out growing their imaginary friends (IF). When Larry went to bed I watched Van Helsing from our movies collection. I ended up doing 2,000 steps.
We had an outstanding day and Christmas celebration with Louise and Alice.
