The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Have I mentioned how much I love the double oven in the new range? Oh, I haven’t? Well, I do. So, so, so very much.

Merry Christmas! Our day started pretty early (6:30 am!). Whoever said that teenagers do not get excited at opening presents apparently never met our teenagers.

The kids got a lot of neat gifts like a personalized compass, a personalized marching band ornament, Nintendo Switch games, books, and clothes. However, the new Google Pixel 7 smartphones were the big highlight for both of them.

Andy got a DripEZ BBQ prep tub with built in cutting board. It should make prepping meat for the smoker a lot easier.

After presents, we spent most of the day relaxing and then enjoyed a fantastic Prime Rib dinner.

We ended the night hanging out with Jeremy. It was a great Christmas Day for us Kassels – exactly the way we like it.

I love going to Glenn’s Cafe for Christmas Eve dinner.

It was an evening of amazing food and family. Merry Christmas!

When asking teenagers to get their picture taken with Santa, it is best to first bribe them with Culver’s for lunch.

Then, after said Santa picture is taken,…

…make sure to take a picture of them wearing the free reindeer antler hat provided by Bass Pro Shops.

If there are powdered donuts in this house, this kid will eat them. They are even better when drizzled in chocolate.

Between friends and what we made, we have quite the collection of Christmas treats to eat.
