Happy Monday! We had a snow day here on Friday and through the weekend. Well, we actually had just a cold day on Friday with some freezing rain and sleet that started that night and turned this place into an ice wonderland for the weekend. Not much fun to play in (though the boys might disagree) but exciting nonetheless. Pics to come!
Today, the rest of Christmas day! After we had gone through the Santa surprises and opened a few gifts, we got ready for Robert’s parents and his sister’s family to come over. It turned out to be a beautiful 70 degree day so the boys were in short sleeves – their new Star Wars short sleeves that Santa brought to be exact!
And baby got one last wear out of her adorable Santa dress!
Everyone was enjoying the new toys…
Samantha sure was happy when “Baby Mah-get” finally arrived!
We had a great meal planned and the table was looking pretty if I do say so myself! I finally have some of SuSu’s china here and got to use it for the first time.
Robert cooked an excellent beef tenderloin that everyone really, really enjoyed…
We also had twice baked potatoes, broccoli salad, squash casserole from Mary Lou, green beans from Mary Beth, and rolls (that were supposed to be homemade but my dough didn’t rise. Oh well). We also had Ina Garten’s cranberry and apple cake for dessert (it’s sooo good). The boys didn’t really care for any of that but they were happy to have a big bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup!
That’s a happy little boy!
There were more presents to open…
and plenty of fun to be had!
I’ll also add that, very sadly, this blurry selfie is literally the only photo I was in all day long. Oh well.
It was a wonderful Christmas with my three little angels!
Merry Christmas!
ps – Roll Tide!!!!
