Christmas 2007 was such a wonderful one for our family! Christmas Eve Day found me in the kitchen from 8:30 till dinnertime! For the first time EVER I was making Christmas Eve dinner and I didn't want to miss a thing! We had Honeybaked Ham, twice-baked potatoes, cranberry stuffing, creamed corn, salad, and orange rolls. And let's not forget dessert...mint-brownies, sugar cookies, molasses cookies, and caramels! Too bad Spencer caught the Christmas flu that day and ended up tasting everything twice. Yucko. The Hazens came over for dessert and to deliver Matt's Santa gift-a new ping-pong table. Lucky boy. He must have been really good this year. The kids passed out fairly early (see previous post) and actually stayed asleep till 8:00! I kind of like this "kids growing up" thing. The kids all got spoiled rotten (as did their mother...see photo-don't hate me because I'm beautiful!) After presents, brunch, and a nap...we headed to the movie theater to enjoy TWO movies. What a magical, wonderful day!

I'm glad you had a Merry Christmas, and I wish I had some of your caramels, they are my FAVORITE!!!
What a wonderful day! Your dinner looked delicious and beautiful! What cute kids. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to wake up at 8 AM for Christmas! Maybe next year. Thanks again for the Delicious Dessert, loved those Mint Brownies. Had too much fun last night.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you guys had such a FUN Christmas Eve/day. You dinner sounded soooo yummy...I would love to be a Martha Stewart someday :) Oh, I keep forgetting to ask...do you have a website where you find your cute backgrounds. I have been looking, but can't find anything I really like.
ReplyDeleteJillian...in the Tiffany bag was a gorgeous pendant on a long chain which I've been wanting for awhile. I LOVE IT. Carrie...Shayla McLaughlin did my background-I'm not that talented.
