Christmas Eve this year was very different than last year. Just our little family together playing card games, reading Christmas stories, eating yummy food and watching holiday movies. I would call it a success even though we missed all our family far away. We came up with some new traditions and kept some old. I love how Christmas makes me feel little again. It all happened so fast this year, too fast. I was sad this morning that it was over.
Here we are playing " PayDay" which the boys loved.
We prepared a very fancy feast and did it in honor of Jesus Christ's birth. We wanted to celebrate his birthday with a "Dinner for a King". We loved sitting around the table and talking about the true meaning of Christmas. The boys asked if we could eat dinner like that every night!
Appetizer: Cheese Fondue with French Bread
Main Course: Marinated Steaks with Scalloped Potatoes
Salad: Mixed greens with Mushrooms, Bacon, Mozzarella Cheese & red onions
Drink: Sparkling Apple Juice.
Dessert: Miah's Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
Christmas morning. Sleepy boys and a few opened presents thanks to Mr. Karson himself. He was the first one up and took matters into his own hands!
Miss Jade was so excited for all her baby doll items and presents.... oh, and candy!
Christmas Eggs for breakfast. So yummy. It's like a gourmet poached egg in whipping cream baked in the oven with a pinch of kosher salt. Creamy goodness people.
Christmas breakfast wouldn't be complete without Star Wars Pancakes! The boys are currently obsessed with Star Wars ANYTHING. Perfect gift mom. Thanks.
We most certainly did have a wonderful Christmas and hope that all our family and friends did too!
Merry Christmas!
