Christmas Eve and the sun is shining!! It is good to see that great ball of yellow in the sky this morning. It is a sign of good things to come.
Ariane and I went into town again today for all the last minute dinner items - like the turkey!! We had a riot shopping at the different stores the day before Christmas.
We got a steal of a deal on a fresh turkey. It was marked at $32.00 and then further marked down to 50% off. Once we got to the till, we got a further discount with the Safeway club card and ended up paying $12.00 for this 19 pound turkey!! I just don't know how we are going to manage to eat something so cheap!! Trash can turkey, here we come!!
We returned to the campsite with all our treasures in hand only to hand the keys over to Larry and John. They made a quick trip into town to check out the price of tires for the Jeep. It is a good thing that Wickenburg is only a few miles away.
I collected a bit of wood for tonight's campfire while the guys were gone and Ariane set up a craft project to work on.
The guys returned home a short while later and we had the usual Christmas Eve meal. Steak and baked potatoes. It was awesome and the campfire was just as good.
The evening weather was great, the stars out in full force and Mr Snowman was providing the light show!!
Larry and Ariane skyped their boys and spent part of their Christmas Eve with them (much the same as we did last year). We had spoken to our boys earlier. They are busy with their girlfriends. Life goes on.
We headed for bed early to ensure that we would be asleep by the time Santa arrived.
