December 24, 2014


As I sit here drinking my Christmas Eve morning coffee, I think I'm ready for the festivities to begin.

Which surely means that I've forgotten something very important.

The gifts are wrapped.

My hubby bravely did the Costco run for me yesterday.

I made at least half of the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dishes ahead of time.

(Christmas Eve is creamy broccoli soup in homemade (by my daughter-in-law) pretzel soup bowls.)

(Christmas Day is Prime Rib, twice baked potatoes, this jello, and some form of homemade bread. This year we are making this one, which is unbelievably delicious and so, so easy.)

Oh, and Peanut Butter Pie for dessert.

I refuse to add up the amount of cream cheese we will be consuming in the next two days.

All my kids will be home this year, and of course we have the new baby to make things even more fun.

How about you? Are you in the last minute scramble? Or are all your Christmas ducks in a row?

Have a wonderful Christmas!

    We (the girls) are patiently waiting for tonight and tomorrow morning to come. They are a tad bit antsy about everything. But everything is done thank goodness!

    Wishing you and your family a beautiful Merry Christmas! Enjoy your adorable grand baby's first Christmas!!!

    Hugs!

    Amazingly, I think all of my ducks were in a row, since nothing caved in on me! Yay. Had a great Christmas & hope you did too, my friend. So glad all of the kids could be home, and oh that baby -- I'll bet she got lots of lovin'! xo ~Sal

    How wonderful to have the family home and the new baby, too. A great Christmas for you. We were in Seattle with my almost 2 year old great nephew. It was super duper. Home now to finish the season! May 2015 be all you want it to be.
