Christmas Eve! Preparations for Christmas and Recipes - Blogmas Day 24

Hello Friends, 

I hope you are doing well. I am so happy today is Christmas Eve! This morning I read some of the Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews before work. Then I worked until 1 pm, then once we got the message that we could log off for the holidays, I had lunch and we watched an episode of Lost with Liam. Then I had a Facetime with my mom and sister to discuss tomorrow's Christmas plans. I did some laundry and cleaning. I took the photo below this morning of the Christmas tree with all the gifts I wrapped last night below. I feel good that is done already and ready to go for tonight and tomorrow.

I opened the last day of my advent calendar Lindt chocolates. The biggest chocolate is the teddy bear that I enjoyed after lunch today.

Once I was done cleaning, I made a side dish of bean casserole to bring to my sister's place tomorrow. She will be making the turkey dinner and hosting and I will be bringing the side dish. I used the recipe by Taste of Southern called Classic Green bean casserole. I liked the step by step photos on their site to follow along. It smells so good, I am looking forward to trying it.

I also will be making a French toast casserole for brunch tomorrow we are having Liam's mom over. I will use the recipe French Toast Casserole from Allrecipes.com. I love French toast, so I am looking forward to seeing how this recipe tastes.

Millie was sleeping tonight on the couch as I typed my blog post up before dinner. She was tired from a busy day watching me cleaning and cooking. 

After dinner I will be watching It's a Wonderful Life as a tradition I do every Christmas Eve. I was hoping to start watching it earlier this year, but it was busy with preparations for tomorrow that I didn't watch it this afternoon. I hope I don't start too late because I want to try to go to bed in good time. I look forward to watching while I am knitting Millie's stocking.

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I hope you enjoyed your Christmas Eve today! Please join me again tomorrow for the last day of blogmas. I can't believe Christmas is tomorrow. I am excited and feeling more prepared now with the gifts all wrapped, cards written, and one dish made for tomorrow. I hope you are feeling excited for tomorrow and prepared.

 I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
