Christmas Eve Breakfast
Chris's family has some amazing traditions. They start off Christmas eve with breakfast. This happens to be my most favorite meal. The circle sausage swirls found in the middle of the pig plate are my favorite.
They call them Dog Mush because when Chris was
little he asked a lot of questions. He pointed and asked Mimi what was that? She replied dog mush. Chris thought that was incredible and had everyone call them that from then on.
After breakfast we got ready for the rest of the day.
By that I mean we took naps while watching football. In the mean time Beverly made Christmas snacks. They were like appetizer but better. She made "sweet pigs". They were pigs in a blanket with honey, brown sugar & pecans glaze. Chris felt the brown sugar defiled the pigs and boycotted them. {more for me!}
We went one at a time opening up presents. This is how Stephanie likes to open presents & since she and her sweet family couldn't be there this year we honored her in this way.
Mimi made Caroline 2 beautiful blankets. She is going to be so warm in February.
Kelley got tons of jackets and Alpha P swag. She also got an Ipad from Santa. It must have been those good grades he was most impressed with!
Christmas morning we woke up and drove to Andrews
to spend the day with my parents. We got a late start
because the roads were still a little icy.
Granny and Curtis got a lap top and have become quit impressive with email, checking the weather and looking up horse racing stats.
"what do you mean Christmas is over!"
Fail! She loaded everything up and the box broke. Poor Jacee...
Christmas was amazing! I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you to my amazing family for making 2011 a HUGE success. Caroline is so blessed to be born into a loving, caring family.
