Christmas Night.

my sisters and their kiddies came over for christmas evening.
for more food to eat and more gifts to give.
we started a new tradition.
the yule log.
i am now on a life long hunt for a home with big/huge wood burning fireplace.

christmas night consisted of homemade soups...clam chowder, minestrone, and stew.
with homemade rolls and "seedie bread"
totally hit the spot after previous heavy loaded meals.

whoops, tumble.
the girls were IN LOVE with GiGi's gift.
you should have seen their faces.
a total princess moment had by 3 little girls. 
how to make a yule log
we decided the yule log should baby jesus's birthday cake.
we sang happy birthday and the little girls blew out the candles.
 it was cute. 

i just can't believe it's a month behind us now!
where does time go...this month has been total craziness.

A Friends Christmas.

last week before we all left to our various homes for christmas we had ourselves a little christmas dinner and ugly sweater party. well only three people wore ugly sweaters.
so that part of the party was a bust.
everyone brought a dish.


we ate dinner at candle light and had kenny G pandora station playing in the background.
after dinner we ate cookies and egg nog ice cream while playing a hilar game that all of you should play at a dinner party.


it's easy. you can sit at the table. no fuss.
everyone writes 5+ words that the opposite sex won't know or may be a challenge.
you set the timer for 30 seconds and you pull a word out of the "hat" in our case it was a bowl.
boys vs girls games are always so funny.
the boys strugggggled guessing our words.

some words we had were:
dry bar
partial hightlights
toner
spanx

you get the picture.


these molasses cookies were the bomb. moist & fluffy!
here is the recipe decided last minute that they needed to be dipped in chocolate.
so i melted and dipped.



pippa loved her new christmas blanket i purchased for $5 at old navy.
also below is my newest ornament purchse.
my new fav ornament on the tree this year.


 i loved my black snowman vest.
$7 at goodwill...ummmmm goodwill you REALLY think your cool pricing your stuff so high?
not cool. that stuff is donated for goodness sakes.
i'm really thought $7 for a nasty hilar christmas vest from 1992?



merry christmas eve!
can't believe tomorrow is CHRISTMAS!
i know i say that every year, but every year i mean it.
we did some last minute shopping today for 2 hours to long.
never ever go out on christmas eve.
holy zoo.

merry christmas.
have a wonderful night.
