Don't let the small number fool you, even though the Smith's were alone this year, we still managed to have a spectacular Christmas.
Some friends (who were also "family-less") had us over for a lovely Christmas Eve dinner and program.
Alec helped me bake the dessert for the evening.
Santa's Helper.
Looks like a little elf couldn't wait for Christmas.
Thus, all the presents strategically placed up high in the built-ins.
Also notice how there are zero ornaments on the bottom half of our naked tree? It appears that our little elf found those irresistible as well.
This is how Alec gives kisses, by touching foreheads.
Ava loves her giraffe, can't you tell?
We kept our expectations realistically low about how Alec would react to Christmas.
So you can imagine our delight when this was his reaction to receiving a hat.
After opening presents, we made a traditional Danish pancake called Ebelskivers.
This time we made Banana Graham Cracker Ebelskivers.
The ebelskivers (do you like how I keep using that word?) were not exciting enough for Alec, he opted for his delectable slop. Consisting of oatmeal, fruits, veggies, chocolate pediasure...all mixed together. Yum.
Later that day some other friends had us over for a non-traditional Christmas dinner. Chicken Fried Steak, which we were grateful for. Who needs two turkeys back to back anyways?
