This year the holidays really came quick. I of course waited until the last minute to start shopping and even waited until the last minute to start shopping for the Christmas dinner which I hosted. I had to go to two stores to find a turkey it was almost a very scary situation.
Christmas Eve is always a lot of fun. We go to my mother in laws and have dinner, talk, open presents and play games. It is great just being around family. It never fails though that we get home around midnight after an hour drive and like last night I haven't even started wrapping presents. So to make a long story short Don and I went to bed around 3am and Triston comes jumping on our bed to wake up around 8am (he let us sleep in for 2 hours). I think we finally made it to out to the living room around around 9. They had so much fun opening up their presents and their stockings. Of course for Don and I we already opened our present (which I'm typing on and love).
The slow morning changed quickly into a rush to make sure everything was done for dinner and the house was clean enough for our guests. I have to say dinner turned out great. I cooked Turkey with all the fixings (stuffing, mashed potatoes, caesar salad, yams, cranberries, rolls, pumpkin pie, and berry pie. I'm on a rotation so next year it will be Lazana (sp?) which seems so much easier.
I hope you all had a great Christmas Eve and Christmas and hope to see many of you at our New Year's Eve Party.
