WAY BEHIND...

I know I'm behind but we have been extremely busy. Here it goes with Christmas....
Zak and I had Christmas at our house this year! It was fun to get the house decorated and bring out the Christmas dishes, place mats and lights for the dinners and lunches! My mom and Dad along with Uncle Greg, Aunt Margot and Cousin Jeremy came up to enjoy the festivities! We had our traditional Escargot Christmas Eve dinner with a very yummy turtle pumpkin pie that I made. Thanks to Kristin for that one, Zak LOVED the one you made so I had to make it too!!

Yummy dinner on Christmas Eve

We ate way to much food and retired early so that Santa could come :)



We had "festive" coffee as my dad called it and no I don't mean spiked. It had a little peppermint extract added to it! So we had coffee and bagels for breakfast and around 9:30 or 10am decided to see what Santa brought us!! It was a good time and I think Mom made out this year Santa must really like her! Zak and I bought each other the same movie, I think that means we really like it!


Zak insisted on having fried Turkey for Christmas Day lunch and the men cooked in the garage while Mom, Margot and myself did the rest of the cooking in the kitchen! Margot was kind enough to make a traditional German dish for Christmas, no one could quite pronounce it correctly but her, so Zak decided to call it Bin Laden. It's real name is Rouladen and it was tasty. Thanks Margot, we are so glad you could join our crazy family for Christmas :) Here are some more pictures, Merry Christmas!
