It was a wonderful Christmas!
I don't know about y'all,
but I'm pooped!
The baking, the cooking, the decorating
and
all the festivities....indeed a great time had with family!
I started baking the cookies, I think on Wednesday!
First up....Peanut Butter cookies!
Then, the Chocolate Crackle Cookies....
On Thursday, I made the Lasagna
along with Mother's Dilly Bread....
oh heavenly days...divine!
Christmas Eve festivities were held on Friday evening...
all my boys...home for the holidays!
Santa delivered a
"big boy toy" a bit early......
"big boy toy" a bit early......
My poor youngest, Rob,
was a tad under the weather with a bad cold....
Christmas dinner was held on Saturday which
was actually Christmas Eve....
Greg's smoked turkey was amazing.....
Mmmmmm......delish!
Cornbread dressing, roasted carrots, lemon pepper green beans,
scalloped potatoes, cranberry sauce and yeast rolls.
followed by
my best cheesecake ever....
topped with whipped cream and a drizzle
of salted caramel sauce!
I am pretty much ready for bed at this point.....
We drew names this year
and
this was my gift from Nick....
HOW PERFECT!!!!
I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!
There is nothing better than curling up with a soft blanket
and watching our favorite Christmas movies....
We had Christmas morning brunch
before Rob had to head back to Austin!
Another blessed Christmas day...
thankful and grateful for this holy day!
Over in Atlanta,
it was a most beautiful Christmas Eve night!
Miss M is now making it a tradition
for the Christmas crackers....
Miss Maepole continues to be seizure free...
this was the best gift of all....our prayers have been heard.
We visit the Neurologist on the 28th....
I hope we are able to get some answers.
I so hope you all had a happy and healthy Christmas Day.
